Title

Resonant Excitation Spectroscopy for NV Centers in Diamond Devices

Supervisor

Majedi, Amir Hamed

Abstract

High efficiency devices for optical control of NV centers in diamond have been realized in the form of nanowires, nanoposts, and plasmonic cavities. So far, these devices have been operated at room temperature, a regime unsuitable for many applications in quantum information. My current project began with creating a low temperature resonant excitation setup for observing NV spectral properties at high resolution; I am now interested in characterizing the spectral linewidth of several high efficiency devices. The motivation is to create an efficient source of indistinguishable photons for applications in quantum information.
