Simultaneous detection of multi-channel signals in MHz bandwidth using nitrogen-vacancy centers in a diamond
Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a method for simultaneously recovering multiple radio wave signals based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond combining optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectrum. A controlled magnetic field gradient applied to the laser excitation area on the surface of diamond widens the detectable ODMR bandwidth to 200 MHz. Three different frequency-modulated (FM) signals with distinct carrier frequencies falling within the resonance frequency range are received and demodulated in real-time. Subsequently, the FM signal reception capability of this system is further investigated by measuring baseband signal frequencies ranging from 0.1 Hz to 200 Hz and adjusting the carrier power within a dynamic range from -10 dBm to 30 dBm. This proposal, which accomplishes multi-channel demodulation using a compact and single device, has potential applications in fields such as wireless communication, radar and navigation.
