Abstract

Large-area, highly uniform microwave field radiation and efficient excitation of fluorescence are the key to achieving high sensitivity sensing of the NV (nitrogen-vacancy) magnetometer. In this paper, we report a compact multipass-laser-beam antenna for NV ensemble color centers sensing. The antenna not only provides a tridimensional uniform magnetic field, but also can be used for efficient excitation of the NV fluorescence. The optimal size of the antenna and the angle of laser incidence are determined by the multi-physics field simulation software COMSOL. For an equivalent excitation power, the designed structure increases the path length of the excitation beam by up to three orders of magnitude, up to the level of m, compared to the conventional direct beam mode. Finally, this method increased the sensitivity by a factor of 60 realized a magnetic field sensitivity of 2.8 nT/√Hz in the range of 10-100 Hz. This work provides an experimental method for the design of integrated NV magnetometers.
