Integrated optical-controlled diamond sensors

Abstract

The review gives an idea about a special class of solid-state high-technology external field sensors based on diamond microstructures with optically active defects. Several types of such devices, including magnetometers, electrometers, and thermometers, are considered, which represent quantum chips containing a sensitive element (diamond structure), control and measurement units (laser, microwave signal source, and detector), and an interface of the interaction between them. The functional characteristics of the sensors determining the sphere of their application are described.
