Abstract

We report an essentially complete characterization of energies and relaxation processes of the lowest seven electronic states of the N-V (nitrogen-vacancy) center in diamond using several different nonlinear laser spectroscopie techniques. We have also applied ultrafast optical techniques to measure dielectric properties of CVD and bulk diamond in the 0.3–1.6 THz range for the first time.
