Quantum magnetic sensors based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are expected to be applicable to biological and chemical applications However, their DC magnetic field sensitivity is still insufficient for demanding applications such as magnetoencephalography requiring extraordinary sensitivity. The spin dephasing time 𝑇2∗ is a key parameter to improve the sensitivity, but 𝑇2∗ of typical millimeter-scale NV centers is limited by magnetic field inhomogeneity, strain field inhomogeneity, and electronic spin bath. In this work, we developed (i) a magnet system suppressing both the longitudinal magnetic field and transverse strain field inhomogeneities and (ii) a microwave (MW) and radio-frequency (RF) application system for high-efficiency spin-bath driving (SBD) suitable for a diamond (111) sample.
