• Abstract summary: Laser-written waveguides in diamond promote NV$-$ creation and improve their coupling to light but at the same time induce strain in the crystal. We probe NV$-$ spin states experimentally with the commonly used zero-field optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) In our waveguides, the ODMR spectra are shifted, split, and consistently asymmetric, which we attribute to the impact of local strain.

• Abstract: The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV${}^-$) center in diamond has shown great potential in nanoscale sensing and quantum information processing due to its rich spin physics. An efficient coupling with light, providing strong luminescence, is crucial for realizing these applications. Laser-written waveguides in diamond promote NV${}^-$ creation and improve their coupling to light but at the same time induce strain in the crystal. The induced strain contributes to light guiding but also affects the energy levels of NV${}^-$ centers. We probe NV${}^-$ spin states experimentally with the commonly used zero-field optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR). In our waveguides, the ODMR spectra are shifted, split, and consistently asymmetric, which we attribute to the impact of local strain. To understand these features, we model ensemble ODMR signals in the presence of strain. By fitting the model results to the experimentally collected ODMR data we determine the strain tensor components at different positions, thus determining the strain profile across the waveguide. We show that ODMR spectroscopy can be used as a strain imaging tool. The resulting strain within the waveguide is dominated by a compressive axial component transverse to the waveguide structure, with a smaller contribution from vertical and shear strain components.

  We develop a master-equation treatment of optically detected magnetic resonance, incorporating IR light saturation effects. We show that our model is compatible with experiments of IR-based NV center magnetometry. We uncover the potential to achieve sensitivities in the order of sub-pico tesla, even for sub-millimeter scales.

A thorough study of the mode-splitting and its tuning across the stop-band leads to a quantitative understanding of the mechanism behind the results.
