This study introduces a novel method for the simultaneous detection of microwave sensor power and temperature, leveraging nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers as a robust quantum system. Through precise measurement of the optical detection magnetic resonance contrast in NV centers, the microwave power is accurately determined. Furthermore, the temperature of the sensor is obtained by monitoring the variations in zero-field splitting and thorough spectral analysis. This method enables the efficient real-time acquisition of synchronized data on both microwave power and temperature from the sensor, facilitating concurrent monitoring without the necessity of additional sensing devices. Finally, we verified that the magnetic sensitivity of the system is approximately 1.2 nT/Hz1/2, and the temperature sensitivity is around 0.38 mK/Hz1/2. The minimum resolution of microwave power is about 20 nW. The experimental results demonstrate that this quantum measurement technique provides stable and accurate data across a wide range of microwave power and temperature conditions. These findings indicate substantial potential for this technique in advanced applications such as aerospace, medical diagnostics, and high-frequency communications. Future studies will aim to extend the industrial applicability of this method by refining quantum control techniques within NV center systems.
