Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”Recently, a single-photon source based on the nitrogen vacancy center in a nanodiamond with a traceable spectral photon flux was realized [1]. In this article, we report on the determination of the measurement uncertainty of the spectral photon flux (about 4 %) and discuss its different components. Furthermore, the angular distribution of the emission of an NV center in a nanodiamond located in the vicinity of a dielectric boundary is calculated based on the model of Lukosz and Kunz. The agreement between the angular distribution calculation and the first-ever measurement of the angle-dependent emission in nanodiamond NV centers is satisfactory.
