The $^1E-^1A_1$ singlet manifold of the negatively charged nitrogen vacancy $(NV^-)$ center in diamond plays a central role in the quantum information and quantum sensing applications of the $NV^-$ center. However, the energy of this…

The singlet states of the negatively-charged nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond play a key role in its optical spin control and readout. In this work, the hitherto unknown ionization energy of the singlet is measured experimentally and…

The nitrogen-vacancy centre (NV) has drawn much attention for over a decade, yet detailed knowledge of the photophysics needs to be established. Under typical conditions, the NV can have two stable charge states, negative (NV-) or neutral…
