  • Patent number: 9835693
    Abstract: Methods and configuration are disclosed for providing higher magnetic sensitivity magnetometers through fluorescence manipulation by phonon spectrum control. A method for increasing the magnetic sensitivity for a DNV sensor may include providing a diamond having nitrogen vacancies of a DNV sensor and an acoustic driver and acoustically driving the diamond with the acoustic driver to manipulate a phonon spectrum of the DNV sensor. A DNV sensor may include a diamond having nitrogen vacancies, a photo detector configured to detect photon emissions from the diamond responsive to laser excitation of the diamond and an acoustic driver configured to manipulate a phonon spectrum for the DNV sensor by acoustically driving the diamond.

  • Publication number: 20170212181
    Abstract: Systems, controllers, and configurations are disclosed for providing precisely timed laser actuation, RF waveform control, and synchronous acquisition of fluorescence information from magnetometry components, such as a DNV sensor. A controller for a DNV sensor may include a RF waveform generator for generating a RF waveform for a RF signal for a DNV sensor and a digital control for controlling a laser for the DNV sensor. The RF waveform generator and the digital control may be formed in a single chip, such as an FPGA or ASIC.
