Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāWe present a microwave B-field scanning imaging technique using a diamond micro-crystal containing a nitrogen vacancy center that is attached to a fiber tip. We propose a pulsed modulation technique, enabling the implementation of a variety of pulsed quantum algorithms for state manipulation and fast readout of the spin state. A detailed mapping of the magnetic B-field distribution of a helical antenna with sub-100 Ī¼m resolution is presented and compared with numerical simulations. This fiber based microwave B-field probe has the advantages of minimized invasiveness and small overall size and will boost broad interest in a variety of applications where near field distribution is essential to device characterization, to name a few, antenna radiation profiling, monolithic microwave integrated circuit failure diagnosis, electromagnetic compatibility test of microwave integrated circuits, and microwave cavity field mode mapping.
