Xenon implantation of nanodiamond films for targeted color center emission at sub-nanosecond time scales
In this work, the lifetime of nitrogen-vacancy color centers within nanodiamonds is reduced from 550±13 ps to 297±10 ps through the implantation of xenon. Coupled-mode analysis is employed to characterize the mechanism responsible for the reduction in emission lifetime. The observed spectral lineshape is found to be consistent with a Voigt profile consisting of two Lorentzian resonant peaks at 637 nm and 811 nm that are inhomogeneously broadened by a Gaussian distribution. A convolution of the frequency-domain Lorentzian output, with linewidths less than 1 nm, from the coupled-mode system of equations with a Gaussian with standard deviation of 85 nm is performed to generate the Voigt profile. The shortened emission lifetime is found to be consistent with a coupled mode theory model incorporating coupling between nitrogen-vacancy and xenon-vacancy color centers.
