Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāWe investigate Mie resonances of a diamond nano-resonator as a means to enhance the pumping and detection efficiency of shallow nitrogen-vacancy color centers. We show it is possible to tune a couple of high-order modes of a single resonator to each absorption and emission spectrum of the color center, and thereby the resonator plays a dual role of pump field concentration and emission field guiding. Furthermore superposition of the resonator field and the uncoupled near field results in even stronger pump intensity in the shallow top layer of the resonator. We also examine possible coupling between adjacent resonators when they form a periodic array. This approach allows us to achieve lower excitation power and higher signal intensity at local sites defined by resonators providing a way to enhance wide-field metrology in the sampled region of shallow color centers.
