Abstract

The photoluminescence spectra of two synthetic diamond samples containing 1-10 ppm NV centers and 100-200 ppm substitutional nitrogen were studied under optical pumping at 532, 560, and 575 nm. At pump intensities less than 0.5-1.0 MW/cm2, a vibronic photoluminescence band of NV- centers in the negative charge state was observed. With an increase in the pump intensity above 0.5-1.0 MW/cm2, a superluminescence band was observed on the long-wavelength shoulder of the phonon wing in the range 700-760 nm. The intensity of superluminescence band increased with increasing pump intensity. It is shown that the position of the superluminescence band with maxima in the range 715-720 nm is unchanged at all of optical pump wavelengths.
