• Abstract summary: Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have been successfully coupled to various optical structures to enhance their radiation by the Purcell effect. This article addresses more phenomena, such as the appearance of bunching shoulders in the second-order correlation function, Rabi splitting in the steady-state spectrum, and population dynamics on excited Dicke states. Overall, our results can guide further experiments with NV centers, and they are also relevant for other solid-state color centers, such as silicon-vacancy centers in diamond and silicon carbide, boron-vacancy centers and carbon-related centers in hexagonal boron-nitride

• Abstract: Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have been successfully coupled to various optical structures to enhance their radiation by the Purcell effect. The participation of many NV centers in these studies may naturally lead to cooperative emission and superradiance, and our recent experimental study with a diamond membrane in a fiber-based ultra-narrow optical cavity demonstrated nonlinear radiation power and fast photon bunching which are signatures of such collective effects. In this theoretical article, we go beyond the simple model used in the previous study to address more phenomena, such as the appearance of bunching shoulders in the second-order correlation function, Rabi splitting in the steady-state spectrum, and population dynamics on excited Dicke states, which for moderate pumping explains the observed collective effects. Overall, our results can guide further experiments with NV centers, and they are also relevant for other solid-state color centers, such as silicon-vacancy centers in diamond and silicon carbide, boron-vacancy centers and carbon-related centers in hexagonal boron-nitride.

• Broadband light extraction from near-surface NV centers using crystalline-silicon antennas [2.872987090943781]
  We use crystalline silicon (Si) antennas to extract broadband single-photon fluorescence from shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond into free space. Our design features relatively easy-to-pattern high-index Si resonators on the diamond surface to boost photon extraction by overcoming total internal reflection and Fresnel reflection at the diamond-air interface. In simulations, 20 times more single photons are collected from a single NV center compared to the case without the antenna; in experiments, we observe an enhancement of 4 times, limited by spatial alignment between the NV and the antenna.

We investigated the influence of the free precession time of the NV center on the observed contrast in the measured double electron-electron resonance spectrum. The optimal contrast-free precession time was determined for each C-center concentration, showing a strong correlation with both the concentration of C-centers and the NV-center $T_2$ time.
