• Abstract summary: We report on the optimization efforts of the magnetometer sensitivity at room temperature and without cavities. We reach sensitivities of 18 pT$/sqrtmathrmHz$, surpassing previously reported values. We also report on a defect that is native to CVD-grown diamond and thus absent in HPHT diamond, the excitation of which impacts the measured singlet absorption signal.

• Abstract: The negatively-charged nitrogen vacancy (NV$^{-}$) center in diamond is widely used for quantum sensing since the sensitivity of the spin triplet in the electronic ground state to external perturbations such as strain and electromagnetic fields make it an excellent probe for changes in these perturbations. The spin state can be measured through optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), which is most commonly achieved by detecting the photoluminescence (PL) after exciting the spin-triplet transition. Recently, methods have been proposed and demonstrated that use the absorption of the infrared singlet transition at 1042 nm instead. These methods however require cryogenic temperatures or external cavities to enhance the absorption signal. Here, we report on our optimization efforts of the magnetometer sensitivity at room temperature and without cavities. We reach sensitivities of 18 pT$/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$, surpassing previously reported values. We also report on a defect that is native to CVD-grown diamond and thus absent in HPHT diamond, the excitation of which impacts the measured singlet absorption signal.

  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.

This sensitivity is enabled by a relatively high green-to-red photon conversion efficiency, the use of a [100] bias field alignment, microwave and lock-in amplifier (LIA) parameter optimisation, as well as a balanced hyperfine excitation scheme. The magnetometer is capable of detecting signals from sources such as a vacuum pump up to 2 m away, with

  We report experimental measurements of the rates of blackbody radiation-induced transitions between high-lying (n>60) S, P and D Rydberg levels of rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Our results reveal significant deviations of the measured transition rates from theory for well-defined ranges of the principal quantum number. We conclude that it should be possible to use such external cavities to control and suppress the blackbody radiation-induced transitions.

We numerically investigate and compare the predicted sensitivity of schemes based on continuous-wave (CW) optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy, pi-pulse ODMR and Ramsey interferometry.
