Cross‐Correlated Quantum Thermometry Using Diamond Containing Dual‐Defect Centers

Madhav Gupta, Tongtong Zhang, Lambert Yeung +7 more

Abstract The contactless temperature measurement at micro/nanoscale is vital to a broad range of fields in modern science and technology. The nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) center, a kind of diamond defect with unique spin‐dependent photoluminescence, is recognized as one of the most promising nanothermometers. However, this quantum thermometry technique is prone to a number of possible perturbations, which will unavoidably degrade its actual temperature sensitivity. Here, for the first time, a cross‐validated optical thermometry method is developed using a bulk diamond sample containing both NV centers and silicon‐vacancy (SiV) centers, achieving a sensitivity of 22 and 86 mK (√Hz) −1 respectively. Particularly, the latter has been intrinsically immune to those influencing perturbations for the NV‐based quantum thermometry, hence serving as a real‐time cross‐validation system. As a proof‐of‐concept demonstration, a trustworthy temperature measurement is shown under the influence of varying magnetic fields, which is a common artefact present in practical systems. This multi‐modality approach allows synchronized cross‐validation of the measured temperature, which is required for micro/nanoscale quantum thermometry in complicated environments such as a living cell.

Robust integration of nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds to optical fiber and its application in all-optical thermometry

Ce Bian, Minxuan Li, Wei Cao +3 more

In this Letter, we developed a robust method for integrating nanodiamonds (NDs) to optical fiber. The NDs, containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, were uniformly mixed with UV adhesive before coating the end surface of a multimode fiber as a hemispherical film. The excitation and collection efficiency of NV fluorescence can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of UV adhesive film and additional aluminum film deposition. The fiber-based quantum sensor was also experimentally demonstrated for all-optical thermometry application. The variation of the refractive index of UV adhesive under different temperatures will also affect the NV collection efficiency by changing the light confinement. The demonstrated facile integration approach paves the way for developing fiber-based quantum thermometry and magnetometry.

A robust fiber-based quantum thermometer coupled with nitrogen-vacancy centers

Shao-Chun Zhang, Yang Dong, Bo Du +7 more

The nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond has been broadly applied in quantum sensing since it is sensitive to different physical quantities. Meanwhile, it is difficult to isolate disturbances from unwanted physical quantities in practical applications. Here, we present a fiber-based quantum thermometer by tracking the sharp-dip in the zero-field optically detected magnetic resonance spectrum in a high-density nitrogen-vacancy ensemble. Such a scheme can not only significantly isolate the magnetic field and microwave power drift but also improve the temperature sensitivity. Thanks to its simplicity and compatibility in implementation and robustness, this quantum thermometer is then applied to the surface temperature imaging of an electronic chip with a sensitivity of 18mK/Hz. It thus paves the way to high sensitive temperature measurements in ambiguous environments.
