Abstract

In this paper, we report on the precise determination of the orientation of NV centers by imaging with a radially polarized beam. Vectorial Debye theory is applied to the field in the focus of radially polarized beams to generate emission profiles of two orthogonal optical dipoles. By comparing features of the measured emission intensity patterns with simulated results, complete orientation determination of the NV axis is achieved. Results are corroborated by using established methods requiring the polarization rotation of a linearly polarized excitation source, and by analysis of optically detected magnetic resonance spectra. These results lay new ground for any application where the knowledge of the orientation of the NV centers is prerequisite.

Fig. 1 (a) Schematic of the optical set up used to image single NV centers with radially polarized beam generated by a radial polarization converter (RPC). Microwaves were delivered though a conductive path on the coverslip. The conical expansion depicts the deposited nanodiamonds with a variety of possible orientations of NV axes. (b) Coordinate system used to label the NV axis orientation, with the optical dipoles in the orthogonal plane labelled d1 & d2. The inset shows the NV axis with respect to a unit cell in the diamond host matrix.

Fig. 2 (a) Scanning confocal image of a sample with linearly polarized light (directionality indicated by upper left arrow). (b) HBT data indicating singularity of NV centers labelled 1-4. Count rates dropping to below half the 0 ns delay value indicates a positive result. (c) The same region as imaged in (a), but with a radially polarized beam (indicated by the arrows in upper left). Four NV centers are highlighted and labelled for further analysis.

Fig. 3
Fig. 3 A range of simulated far-field emission patterns for a range of NV center orientations. The orientation of the pattern is determined by φ whilst the structure of the pattern is due to the polar angle, θ. For values of θ = 0 there is no coupling to the central z field, however as θ → 90 the component of the dipoles lying parallel to the optical axis ultimately dominates the far-field emission pattern. Each image plotted corresponds to a focal region of 1x1 µm.

Fig. 4 (a) Higher resolution far-field images of the 4 centers identified in Fig. 2. Scale bar 500 nm. (b) Depiction of the orientation of each of the NV center determined by radial imaging. (c) Fluorescence dependence of each center on the orientation of the linearly polarized excitation source. For NV1 the strongest fluctuation in fluorescence is observed, corresponding to a large polar angle. NV4 exhibits very little fluctuation suggesting both optical dipoles lie almost parallel to the focal plane. Two possible values of φ are given by the location of the minima. Values for θ are calculated using Eq. (4). (d) ODMR peak splitting plotted against the orientation of the (B) field in the focal plane. The location of the maximum indicates alignment of (B) field and the projection of the NV axis on the transverse plane and is equal to φ.
