All-optical magnetic resonance of high spectral resolution using a nitrogen-vacancy spin in diamond

We propose an all-optical scheme to prolong the quantum coherence of a negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond at cryogenic temperatures. Optical control of the NV spin suppresses energy fluctuations of the $^{3}{{{\rm A}}_{2}}$ ground states and forms an energy gap protected subs...
