Abstract
The optical excitation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamonds mostly results in fluorescence emission. During this process, a portion of the incident energy is transferred to phonon vibration, which heats the diamond crystal. For single NV color centers, the heat generated by the optical cycle is negligible, while for an ensemble of NV defects, the generated heat accumulates rapidly and heats the diamond. The temperature rise is rapid due to the high thermal conductivity of the diamond. In addition to the ability to be heated by light, the NV defect's unique properties also allow for the precise measurement of temperature using optically detected magnetic resonance. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that microcrystalline diamond containing NV center ensembles can be used as a self-gauged microheater. We attached a microcrystal diamond to an optical fiber in an endoscope configuration, evaluated its performance as a self-gauged heater under varied biologically relevant environments, and discussed its potential applications. In addition to the aforementioned capabilities, the NV defect enables the precise measurement of local magnetic fields. This provides a unique multimodal sensor to probe temperature-controlled magnetic phenomena at microscopic scales.
