From: Improving the creation of SiV centers in diamond via sub-μs pulsed annealing treatment
A schematic illustration of our annealing concept for improving SiV centers in diamond and the experimental setup of the laser-heating system. AOM-modulated pulsed lasers utilized as the heating and annealing laser deposit sufficient energy to induce diamond material conversion in a time comparable to or shorter than the period of SiV centers migrating out of the diamond lattice. AdaSi is the precursor to form diamond with SiV centers. C, gray; Si, green; Cl, yellow; H, cyan. Local heating and annealing were achieved by laser irradiating the 100-nm-thick tungsten film deposited on mica.
