Optical probing of phononic properties of a tin-vacancy color center in diamond
arXiv:2312.05335 · doi:10.1103/swkr-r6mb
Abstract
The coherence characteristics of a tin-vacancy color center (SnV) in diamond are investigated through optical means, including linewidth broadening effects and coherent population trapping (CPT) between the ground state orbital levels. Spectral analysis is required as due to the large spin-orbit splitting of the orbital ground states, thermalization between the ground states occurs at rates that are impractical to measure directly in the time domain. First, by implementing a temperature-dependent linewidth broadening measurement, including the challenging-to-measure D transition, phononic coupling coefficients are determined. These measurements are performed on an emitter with a lifetime-limited linewidth and atom-like properties, making the measurement representative for high-quality SnVs. Next, a CPT-type experiment is carried out to independently analyze thermal decoherence processes at 4 K. The spectral information is transformed into its conjugate variable time, providing picosecond resolution and revealing an orbital depolarization timescale of . Consequences of the investigated dynamics are then used to estimate spin dephasing times limited by thermal effects.
