- Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are defects in a diamond's crystal structure. Synthetic diamonds can be created that have these NV centers. NV centers generate red light when excited by a light source, such as a green light source, and microwave radiation. When an excited NV center diamond is exposed to an external magnetic field the frequency of the microwave radiation at which the diamond generates red light and the intensity of the light change. By measuring this change and comparing the change to the microwave frequency that the diamond generates red light at when not in the presence of the external magnetic field, the external magnetic field strength can be determined. Accordingly, NV centers can be used as part of a magnetic field sensor.
- microwave RF excitation is needed in a DNV sensor.
- Various NV sensors respond to a microwave frequency that is not easily generated by RF antenna elements that are comparable to the small size of the NV sensor.
- RF elements should reduce the amount of light within the sensor that is blocked by the RF elements.
- the RF element When a single RF element is used, the RF element is offset from the NV diamond when the RF element maximized the faces and edges of the diamond that light can enter or leave. Moving the RF element away from the NV diamond, however, impacts the uniformity of strength of the RF that is applied to the NV diamond.
- a configuration of RF elements can provide both the magnetic bias and the RF field for a DNV magnetic system.
- the magnetic bias provided by various implementations can be a uniform magnetic field along three polarizations of the axes of the coils used in various implementations.
- using the various configuration of RF elements in a DNV sensor can allow greater access to the edges and faces of the diamond for light input and egress, while also providing a relatively uniform field in addition to a bias magnetic field.
- a NV diamond is contained within a housing.
- the housing can have six sides, each side operating as an RF element to apply a uniform RF field to the NV diamond.
- the six RF elements can also provide the magnetic bias for the NV sensor.
- the six sides can be configured to allow various different configurations for light ingress and egress.
- the spacing and size of the RF elements allow for all edges and faces of the diamond to be used for light ingress and egress.
- the more light captured by photo-sensing elements of a DNV senor results in an increased efficiency of the sensor.
- the multiple polarization RF field of various implementations can increase the number of NV centers that are efficiently excited.
- the multiple polarization RF field can be used to differentially control the polarizations to achieve higher order functionality from the DNV sensor.
- the nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond comprises a substitutional nitrogen atom in a lattice site adjacent a carbon vacancy as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the NV center may have four orientations, each corresponding to a different crystallographic orientation of the diamond lattice.

- FIG. 5 illustrates fluorescence as a function of RF frequency for the case where the diamond material 320 has NV centers aligned along directions of four different orientation classes.

The magnetic field sensor also includes four side RF feed cables connected to one of the four side RF elements such that each side RF element is connected to one RF feed cable that provides a feed signal to the side RF element. The magnetic field sensor also includes a top RF element and a bottom element along with a top RF element feed cable and a bottom RF feed cable. The top and bottom feed cables provide a RF feed signal to the top and bottom RF elements respectively. The four side RF side elements, the top RF element, and the bottom RF element are arranged in a cube formation. A nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center diamond is located within the cube formation. The side RF elements, top RF element, and bottom RF element generate a microwave signal that is uniform over the NV center diamond, and also generate a magnetic bias field to the NV center diamond.

The magnetic field sensor also includes four side RF feed cables connected to one of the four side RF elements such that each side RF element is connected to one RF feed cable that provides a feed signal to the side RF element. The magnetic field sensor also includes a top RF element and a bottom element along with a top RF element feed cable and a bottom RF feed cable. The top and bottom feed cables provide a RF feed signal to the top and bottom RF elements respectively. The four side RF side elements, the top RF element, and the bottom RF element are arranged in a column formation. A nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center diamond is located within the column formation. The side RF elements, top RF element, and bottom RF element generate a microwave signal that is uniform over the NV center diamond, and also generate a magnetic bias field to the NV center diamond.

Synthetic diamonds can be created that have these NV centers. NV centers generate red light when excited by a light source, such as a green light source, and microwave radiation. When an excited NV center diamond is exposed to an external magnetic field the frequency of the microwave radiation at which the diamond generates red light and the intensity of the light change. By measuring this change and comparing the change to the microwave frequency that the diamond generates red light at when not in the presence of the external magnetic field, the external magnetic field strength can be determined. Accordingly, NV centers can be used as part of a magnetic field sensor.
- In various implementations, microwave RF excitation is needed in a DNV sensor. The more uniform the microwave signal is across the NV centers in the diamond the better and more accurate an NV sensor will perform. Uniformity, however, can be difficult to achieve. Also, the larger the bandwidth of the element, the better the NV sensor will perform. Large bandwidth, such as octave bandwidth, however, can be difficult to achieve. Various NV sensors respond to a microwave frequency that is not easily generated by RF antenna elements that are comparable to the small size of the NV sensor. In addition, RF elements should reduce the amount of light within the sensor that is blocked by the RF elements. When a single RF element is used, the RF element is offset from the NV diamond when the RF element maximized the faces and edges of the diamond that light can enter or leave. Moving the RF element away from the NV diamond, however, impacts the uniformity of strength of the RF that is applied to the NV diamond.
- The present inventors have realized that a configuration of RF elements can provide both the magnetic bias and the RF field for a DNV magnetic system. The magnetic bias provided by various implementations can be a uniform magnetic field along three polarizations of the axes of the coils used in various implementations. As described in greater detail below, using the various configuration of RF elements in a DNV sensor can allow greater access to the edges and faces of the diamond for light input and egress, while also providing a relatively uniform field in addition to a bias magnetic field. In various implementations, a NV diamond is contained within a housing. The housing can have six sides, each side operating as an RF element to apply a uniform RF field to the NV diamond. In addition, the six RF elements can also provide the magnetic bias for the NV sensor. Further, the six sides can be configured to allow various different configurations for light ingress and egress. The spacing and size of the RF elements allow for all edges and faces of the diamond to be used for light ingress and egress. The more light captured by photo-sensing elements of a DNV senor results in an increased efficiency of the sensor. In addition, the multiple polarization RF field of various implementations can increase the number of NV centers that are efficiently excited. In addition, the multiple polarization RF field can be used to differentially control the polarizations to achieve higher order functionality from the DNV sensor.
- NV Center, its Electronic Structure, and Optical and RF Interaction
- The nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond comprises a substitutional nitrogen atom in a lattice site adjacent a carbon vacancy as shown in
FIG. 1 . The NV center may have four orientations, each corresponding to a different crystallographic orientation of the diamond lattice. - The NV center may exist in a neutral charge state or a negative charge state. Conventionally, the neutral charge state uses the nomenclature NV0, while the negative charge state uses the nomenclature NV, which is adopted in this description.
- The NV center has a number of electrons including three unpaired electrons, each one from the vacancy to a respective of the three carbon atoms adjacent to the vacancy, and a pair of electrons between the nitrogen and the vacancy. The NV center, which is in the negatively charged state, also includes an extra electron.
- The NV center has rotational symmetry, and as shown in
FIG. 2 , has a ground state, which is a spin triplet with 3A2 symmetry with one spin state ms=0, and two further spin states ms=+1, and ms=−1. In the absence of an external magnetic field, the ms=±1 energy levels are offset from the ms=0 due to spin-spin interactions, and the ms=±1 energy levels are degenerate, i.e., they have the same energy. The ms=0 spin state energy level is split from the ms=±1 energy levels by an energy of 2.87 GHz for a zero external magnetic field. - Introducing an external magnetic field with a component along the NV axis lifts the degeneracy of the ms=±1 energy levels, splitting the energy levels ms=±1 by an amount 2gμBBz, where g is the g-factor, μB is the Bohr magneton, and Bz is the component of the external magnetic field along the NV axis. This relationship is correct for a first order and inclusion of higher order corrections is a straight forward matter and will not affect the computational and logic steps in the systems and methods described below.
- The NV center electronic structure further includes an excited triplet state 3E with corresponding ms=0 and ms=±1 spin states. The optical transitions between the ground state 3A2 and the excited triplet 3E are predominantly spin conserving, meaning that the optical transitions are between initial and final states which have the same spin. For a direct transition between the excited triplet 3E and the ground state 3A2, a photon of red light is emitted with a photon energy corresponding to the energy difference between the energy levels of the transitions.
- There is, however, an alternate non-radiative decay route from the triplet 3E to the ground state 3A2 via intermediate electron states, which are thought to be intermediate singlet states A, E with intermediate energy levels. Significantly, the transition rate from the ms=±1 spin states of the excited triplet 3E to the intermediate energy levels is significantly greater than the transition rate from the ms=0 spin state of the excited triplet 3E to the intermediate energy levels. The transition from the singlet states A, E to the ground state triplet 3A2 predominantly decays to the ms=0 spin state over the ms=±1 spin states. These features of the decay from the excited triplet 3E state via the intermediate singlet states A, E to the ground state triplet 3A2 allows that if optical excitation is provided to the system, the optical excitation will eventually pump the NV center into the ms=0 spin state of the ground state 3A2. In this way, the population of the ms=0 spin state of the ground state 3A2 may be “reset” to a maximum polarization determined by the decay rates from the triplet 3E to the intermediate singlet states.
- Another feature of the decay is that the fluorescence intensity due to optically stimulating the excited triplet 3E state is less for the ms=±1 states than for the ms=0 spin state. This is so because the decay via the intermediate states does not result in a photon emitted in the fluorescence band, and because of the greater probability that the ms=±1 states of the excited triplet 3E state will decay via the non-radiative decay path. The lower fluorescence intensity for the ms=±1 states than for the ms=0 spin state allows the fluorescence intensity to be used to determine the spin state. As the population of the ms=±1 states increases relative to the ms =0 spin, the overall fluorescence intensity will be reduced.
- NV Center, or Magneto-Optical Defect Center, Magnetic Sensor System
-
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustrating a NV centermagnetic sensor system 300 which uses fluorescence intensity to distinguish the ms=±1 states, and to measure the magnetic field based on the energy difference between the ms=+1 state and the ms=−1 state. Thesystem 300 includes anoptical excitation source 310, which directs optical excitation to anNV diamond material 320 with NV centers. Thesystem 300 further includes anRF excitation source 330 which provides RF radiation to theNV diamond material 320. Light from the NV diamond may be directed through anoptical filter 350 to anoptical detector 340. - The
RF excitation source 330 may be a microwave coil, for example. TheRF excitation source 330 when emitting RF radiation with a photon energy resonant with the transition energy between ground ms=0 spin state and the ms=+1 spin state excites a transition between those spin states. For such a resonance, the spin state cycles between ground ms=0 spin state and the ms=+1 spin state, reducing the population in the ms=0 spin state and reducing the overall fluorescence at resonance. Similarly resonance occurs between the ms=0 spin state and the ms=−1 spin state of the ground state when the photon energy of the RF radiation emitted by the RF excitation source is the difference in energies of the ms=0 spin state and the ms=−1 spin state. At resonance between the ms=0 spin state and the ms=−1 spin state, or between the ms=0 spin state and the ms=+1 spin state, there is a decrease in the fluorescence intensity. - The
optical excitation source 310 may be a laser or a light emitting diode, for example, which emits light in the green, for example. Theoptical excitation source 310 induces fluorescence in the red, which corresponds to an electronic transition from the excited state to the ground state. Light from theNV diamond material 320 is directed through theoptical filter 350 to filter out light in the excitation band (in the green for example), and to pass light in the red fluorescence band, which in turn is detected by thedetector 340. The opticalexcitation light source 310, in addition to exciting fluorescence in thediamond material 320, also serves to reset the population of the ms=0 spin state of the ground state 3A2 to a maximum polarization, or other desired polarization. - For continuous wave excitation, the
optical excitation source 310 continuously pumps the NV centers, and theRF excitation source 330 sweeps across a frequency range which includes the zero splitting (when the ms=±1 spin states have the same energy) photon energy of 2.87 GHz. The fluorescence for an RF sweep corresponding to adiamond material 320 with NV centers aligned along a single direction is shown inFIG. 4 for different magnetic field components Bz along the NV axis, where the energy splitting between the ms=−1 spin state and the ms=+1 spin state increases with Bz. Thus, the component Bz may be determined. Optical excitation schemes other than continuous wave excitation are contemplated, such as excitation schemes involving pulsed optical excitation, and pulsed RF excitation. Examples, of pulsed excitation schemes include Ramsey pulse sequence, and spin echo pulse sequence. - In general, the
diamond material 320 will have NV centers aligned along directions of four different orientation classes.FIG. 5 illustrates fluorescence as a function of RF frequency for the case where thediamond material 320 has NV centers aligned along directions of four different orientation classes. In this case, the component Bz along each of the different orientations may be determined. These results along with the known orientation of crystallographic planes of a diamond lattice allows not only the magnitude of the external magnetic field to be determined, but also the direction of the magnetic field. - While
FIG. 3 illustrates an NV centermagnetic sensor system 300 withNV diamond material 320 with a plurality of NV centers, in general the magnetic sensor system may instead employ a different magneto-optical defect center material, with a plurality of magneto-optical defect centers. The electronic spin state energies of the magneto-optical defect centers shift with magnetic field, and the optical response, such as fluorescence, for the different spin states is not the same for all of the different spin states. In this way, the magnetic field may be determined based on optical excitation, and possibly RF excitation, in a corresponding way to that described above with NV diamond material. -
FIG. 6 is a schematic of an NV centermagnetic sensor 600, according to an embodiment of the invention. Thesensor 600 includes anoptical excitation source 610, which directs optical excitation to anNV diamond material 620 with NV centers, or another magneto-optical defect center material with magneto-optical defect centers. AnRF excitation source 630 provides RF radiation to theNV diamond material 620. The NV centermagnetic sensor 600 may include abias magnet 670 applying a bias magnetic field to theNV diamond material 620. Light from theNV diamond material 620 may be directed through anoptical filter 650 and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter 660, which suppresses conducted interference, to anoptical detector 640. Thesensor 600 further includes acontroller 680 arranged to receive a light detection signal from theoptical detector 640 and to control theoptical excitation source 610 and theRF excitation source 630. - The
RF excitation source 630 may be a microwave coil, for example. TheRF excitation source 630 is controlled to emit RF radiation with a photon energy resonant with the transition energy between the ground ms=0 spin state and the ms=±1 spin states as discussed above with respect toFIG. 3 . - The
optical excitation source 610 may be a laser or a light emitting diode, for example, which emits light in the green, for example. Theoptical excitation source 610 induces fluorescence in the red, which corresponds to an electronic transition from the excited state to the ground state. Light from theNV diamond material 620 is directed through theoptical filter 650 to filter out light in the excitation band (in the green for example), and to pass light in the red fluorescence band, which in turn is detected by theoptical detector 640. The EMI filter 660 is arranged between theoptical filter 650 and theoptical detector 640 and suppresses conducted interference. The opticalexcitation light source 610, in addition to exciting fluorescence in theNV diamond material 620, also serves to reset the population of the ms=0 spin state of the ground state 3A2 to a maximum polarization, or other desired polarization. - The
controller 680 is arranged to receive a light detection signal from theoptical detector 640 and to control theoptical excitation source 610 and theRF excitation source 630. The controller may include aprocessor 682 and amemory 684, in order to control the operation of theoptical excitation source 610 and theRF excitation source 630. Thememory 684, which may include a nontransitory computer readable medium, may store instructions to allow the operation of theoptical excitation source 610 and theRF excitation source 630 to be controlled. - According to one embodiment of operation, the
controller 680 controls the operation such that theoptical excitation source 610 continuously pumps the NV centers of theNV diamond material 620. TheRF excitation source 630 is controlled to continuously sweep across a frequency range which includes the zero splitting (when the ms=±1 spin states have the same energy) photon energy of 2.87 GHz. When the photon energy of the RF radiation emitted by theRF excitation source 630 is the difference in energies of the ms=0 spin state and the ms=−1 or ms=+1 spin state, the overall fluorescence intensity is reduced at resonance, as discussed above with respect toFIG. 3 . In this case, there is a decrease in the fluorescence intensity when the RF energy resonates with an energy difference of the ms=0 spin state and the ms=−1 or ms =+1 spin states. In this way the component of the magnetic field Bz along the NV axis may be determined by the difference in energies between the ms=−1 and the ms=+1 spin states. - As noted above, the
diamond material 620 will have NV centers aligned along directions of four different orientation classes, and the component Bz along each of the different orientations may be determined based on the difference in energy between the ms=−1 and the ms=+1 spin states for the respective orientation classes. In certain cases, however, it may be difficult to determine which energy splitting corresponds to which orientation class, due to overlap of the energies, etc. Thebias magnet 670 provides a magnetic field, which is preferably uniform on theNV diamond material 620, to separate the energies for the different orientation classes, so that they may be more easily identified. -
FIG. 7 is a schematic illustrating a portion of a DNV sensor with a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. The magnetic sensor shown inFIG. 6 used a singleRF excitation source 630 and abias magnet 670. The DNV sensor illustrated inFIG. 7 uses six separate RF elements that also provide the bias field that is provided thebias magnet 670 inFIG. 6 . Accordingly, in various implementations, the DNV sensor shown inFIG. 7 does not require a separate bias magnetic.FIGS. 7-13 illustrate various components of the DNV sensor. - In
FIG. 7 , the portion of the illustrated DNV sensor includes aheatsink 702 that can connect to the rest of the DNV sensor via a mounting clamp. Not shown is a light element, such as a laser or LED that is located within or near theheatsink 702. Light from the light element travels through alens tube 706 through a focusinglens tube 718 and through acoil assembly 716 that includes the NV diamond. Light passes into thecoil assembly 716 through the NV diamond and exits the coil assembly. Light that exits the coil assembly passes through a red filter to aphoto sensor assembly 714. Thecoil assembly 716, red filter, and photo sensor can all be housed in alens tube 710 that can be coupled tolens tube 718 via alens tube coupler 708. A lenstube rotation mount 712 allows a rotation adjustment element to be attached that allows the coil assembly to be rotated in relation to the light element. -
FIG. 8 is a schematic illustrating a cross section of a portion of a DNV sensor with a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. The portion of the DNV sensor that is illustrated contains thecoil assembly 816 and thephoto sensor 820. Thecoil assembly 816 includes six RF elements. Each RF element has an RF mount that can be used to connect anRF cable 830. Thus, each RF element can have its own RF feed. In various implementations, the each RF element is fed a unique RF signal. In other implementations, sub-combinations of the RF elements receive the same RF feed signal. For example, groups of two or three RF elements can receive the same RF feed signal. Various connectors can be used to connect anRF cable 830 to the RF elements, such as aright angle connector 832. Thecoil assembly 816,red filter 826,EMI glass 824, and photo sensor mounting plate can be held in place using retaining rings 802. Aphoto sensor 820 can be secured to the photosensor mounting plate 822, which can be used to locate thephoto sensor 820 in the path of light that exits thecoil assembly 816. -
FIG. 10 is a cross section illustrating a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. In this illustration, thelight path 1030 is shown. The light path allows for light from the lighting element to pass through the coil assembly and through theNV diamond 1040. Light exits the NV diamond and proceeds out of the coil assembly through thelight path 1030. - The coil assembly includes four
RF elements 1002 and two top andbottom elements 1020. TheNV diamond 1040 is held in place via adiamond plug 1004 that holds the diamond in themounting block 1006. The RF elements can be held together using various means such aselement mounting screws 1032. The six total RF elements can be seen inFIGS. 9A and 9B that illustrate a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. Fourside RF elements 902 are shown along with two top andbottom RF elements 920. Each RF element is attached to a center mounting block 904. Attachment mechanisms such asscrews 932 can be used to attach the RF elements to the mounting block. In the illustrated implementation, alight injection hole 930 is the bottom RF element and thelight exit hole 910 is in the top RF element. Accordingly, in this implementation light passes through the coil assembly and the diamond in a straight path. In one implementation, the light enters a face of the NV diamond and exits through another face of the NV diamond. As described below, in other implementation the light path through the coil assembly is not straight and may take on multiple paths of egress. -
FIG. 11 is a schematic illustrating aside element 1100 of a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. Theside element 1100 can include a middle mounting hole and one other mounting hole. In this implementation, there would be side elements that had different mounting hole configurations. As shown inFIG. 11 , theside element 1100 has three mounting holes, but not all mounting holes are required to be used. In one implementation, the middle mounting hole and one of the remaining two mounting holes are used, but all three mounting holes are not used. Eachside element 1100 includes anRF connector 1102 that is used to provide the RF feed signal to the side element. -
FIG. 12 is a schematic illustrating a top orbottom element 1200 of a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. Similar to theside element 1100, the top orbottom element 1200 includes anRF connector 1202 for receiving an RF feed signal. The top orbottom element 1200, however, has only two mountingholes 1204. The three hole is alight path portion 1230 that allows for light to enter or exit the coil assembly. -
FIG. 13 is a schematic illustrating acenter mounting block 1300 of a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. The NV diamond is located within themounting block 1300. In one implementation, a diamond plug can be used to hold the NV diamond. Themounting block 1300 can include a diamond mounting location that provides alignment of the NV diamond. For example, themounting block 1300 can include a recess that fits the NV diamond. Once positioned, the diamond plug can be inserted into themounting block 1300 to hold the diamond in place. -
FIGS. 14-17 illustrate another implementation.FIG. 14 is a cross section illustrating of a portion of a DNV sensor with a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. Acoil assembly 1416 holds an NV diamond within an NV diamond sensor. Thecoil assembly 1416 can include six RF elements, four side elements and two top and bottom elements (shown inFIGS. 15-17 ).RF cables 1430 can connect to the RF elements viaRF connections 1432. TheRF cables 1430 are used to provide an RF signal to one or more of the RF elements. The RF signal can be different for each RF element or subsets of the RF elements can receive different RF signals. These RF feed signals are used by the RF elements to provide a uniform microwave RF signal to the NV diamond. In addition, the arrangement of the RF elements allows the RF elements to also provide the magnetic bias field to the NV diamond. In the illustrated implementation, light enters and exits through the top and bottom elements. Light that exits the NV diamond can pass through ared filter 1426 and through alight pipe 1450 that is located within anattenuator 1440. In various implementations, at least a portion of thelight pipe 1450 is located within theattenuator 1440. Such a configuration allows the photo-sensing array 1420 to be positioned closer to the NV diamond and remain unaffected by the EMI of the sensor. Further description of the benefits of housing a portion of the light pipe within an attenuator is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/003,281, entitled “Magnetometer with Light Pipe,” filed on the same day as this application, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Retaining rings 1402 can be used to hold the various elements together and in position. -
FIG. 15 is a schematic illustrating a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations.FIG. 16 is a schematic illustrating a cross section of a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. The coil assembly includes two bottom ortop RF elements side elements side elements FIG. 17 is a schematic illustrating a side element of a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. The side element has anRF connector 1702 used to provide a feed RF signal to the RF element. The side RF elements do not include any mounting holes as the side RF elements can be held into position by the top and bottom RF elements. In various implementations, each of the RF elements can include multiple stacked spiral antenna coils. These stacked coils can occupy a small footprint and can provide the needed microwave RF field in such that the RF field is uniform over the NV diamond. Additional details regarding RF elements and RF circuit boards that contain RF elements are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/003,309, entitled “DIAMOND NITROGEN VACANCY SENSOR WITH DUAL RF SOURCES,” filed on the same day as this application, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. In various implementations, each RF side element and top and bottom RF elements can include an RF element or an RF circuit board. - The
NV diamond 1622 is located within the six RF elements. The RF elements can be held together by mountingscrews light injection portion 1504 of the top RF element allows light to enter the coil assembly and enter the NV diamond. The bottom portion includes a correspondinglight egress portion 1620. The NV diamond can fit within amounting block 1608 and be held in position via adiamond plug 1624. -
FIGS. 18-24 illustrate another implementation. In the illustrated implementation, light enters the NV diamond through an edge of the NV diamond and exits through multiple faces of the NV diamond. How light enters and exits the NV diamond is based upon the orientation of the NV diamond relative to the light source. Thus, in various implementations the NV diamond can be repositioned to allow light to enter and exit from edges, faces, and/or both edges and faces. -
FIG. 18 is a schematic illustrating a portion of a DNV sensor with a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. Similar to other implementations, the DNV sensor includes alight source heatsink clamp 1804 for theheatsink 1802, alens tube 1806, a focusinglens tube 1818, acoil assembly 1816 located, and red filters andphoto sensor assemblies 1814, and a lenstube rotation mount FIG. 19 is a schematic illustrating a cross section of a portion of a DNV sensor with a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. In this implementation, the light source is anLED 1906. In other implementations, other light sources, such as a laser, can be used. Athermal electric cooler 1904 can be used to provide cooling for theLED 1906. Light from theLED 1906 can be focused usinglens 1918. The focused light enters the NV diamond that is located within thecoil assembly 1916. -
FIG. 20 is a schematic illustrating a cross section of a portion of a DNV sensor with a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. In this figure, theNV diamond 2040 within the coil assembly can be seen. Light enters the edge of the NV diamond in this implementation and exits theNV diamond 2040 from two faces of theNV diamond 2040. The light the exits theNV diamond 2040 travels one of twolight pipes 1914. In various implementations, at least a portion of the light pipe is located within an attenuator. TheNV diamond 2040 can be held in place within the coil assembly viacenter mounting blocks 2050. The mounting blocks and the coil assembly can be held in place using retaining rings 2052.RF cables 2030 connect to the RF elements viaRF connectors 2032 to provide an RF feed signal to the RF elements as described in greater detail below. -

The light reaches the NV diamond via alight injection opening 2101 and 2202. Light exits theNV diamond 2240 substantially orthogonal to the ingress path through two light exit holes 2110. A second light exit hole is opposite of the illustratedlight exit hole 2110. InFIG. 22 , the second light exit hold is behind theNV diamond 2240. -
FIG. 23 is a schematic illustrating a side element of a coil assembly in accordance with some illustrative implementations. The individual side element includes anRF connector 2304 and alight egress portion 2302. The side element, however, does not include any attachment holes. Rather, the side elements can be held in place within the coil assembly using the top and bottom elements as illustrated inFIGS. 24A and 24B . -
