In all-optical magnetic field sensing using nitrogen-vacancy-center-rich diamonds, an ambiguity in the range of 0-8 mT can be observed. We propose a way to resolve this ambiguity using the magnetic-field-dependent fluorescence lifetime. We therefore recorded the frequency response of the fluorescence upon modulation of the excitation intensity in a frequency range of 1-<inline-formula><math xmlns=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ display=ā€œinlineā€><semantics><mrow><mn>100</mn><mspace width=ā€œ3.33333ptā€></mspace><mi>MHz</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. The magnetic-field-dependent decay dynamics led to different response characteristics for magnetic fields below and above <inline-formula><math xmlns=ā€œhttp://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathMLā€ display=ā€œinlineā€><semantics><mrow><mn>3</mn><mspace width=ā€œ3.33333ptā€></mspace><mi>mT</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, allowing us to resolve the ambiguity. We used a physics-based model function to extract fit parameters, which we used for regression, and compared it to an alternative approach purely based on an artificial neural network.
