We theoretically propose a method to realize optical nonreciprocity in rotating nano-diamond with a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. Because of the relative motion of the NV center with respect to the propagating fields, the frequencies of the…
In diamond, nitrogen defects like the substitutional nitrogen defect (Ns) or the nitrogen-vacancy-hydrogen complex (NVH) outnumber the nitrogen vacancy (NV) defect by at least one order of magnitude creating a dense spin bath. While neutral…
