Abstract: | In the preceding paper 1] we reported both cw and coherent transient measurements carried out in EPR and NMR transitions within the3A ground state of the nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond using the Raman heterodyne detection technique. In this paper we use these measurements to characterise the nuclear magnetic transitions near a level anticrossing situation. The level anticrossing causes a mixing of the electronic spin and nuclear spin wave functions which results in a greatly enhanced NMR transition moment. The amount of mixing not only affects the dipole moment but, correspondingly, the characteristic relaxation times. In this paper we report the measurement of these parameters in the nitrogen-vacancy centre as a function of applied Zeeman field strength and analyse the results using the spin Hamiltonian formalism. Furthermore, combined with the particular features of the Raman heterodyne technique, such a system represents an ideal testing ground for the nonlinear behaviour of strongly driven transitions. Some results are illustrated, including dynamic Zeeman splitting and gain without inversion. |
