Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāWe present results of our research on two-field (two-frequency) microwave\nspectroscopy in nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) color centers in a diamond. Both fields\nare tuned to transitions between the spin sublevels of the NV- ensemble in the\n3A2 ground state (one field has a fixed frequency while the second one is\nscanned). Particular attention is focused on the case where two microwaves\nfields drive the same transition between two NV- ground state sublevels (ms=0\n-> ms=+1). In this case, the observed spectra exhibit a complex narrow\nstructure composed of three Lorentzian resonances positioned at the pump-field\nfrequency. The resonance widths and amplitudes depend on the lifetimes of the\nlevels involved in the transition. We attribute the spectra to coherent\npopulation oscillations induced by the two nearly degenerate microwave fields,\nwhich we have also observed in real time. The observations agree well with a\ntheoretical model and can be useful for investigation of the NV relaxation\nmechanisms.\n
