Wide-field strain imaging with preferentially aligned nitrogen-vacancy centers in polycrystalline diamond

We report on wide-field optically detected magnetic resonance imaging of nitrogen-vacancy centers (NVs) in type IIa polycrystalline diamond. These studies reveal a heterogeneous crystalline environment that produces a varied density of NV centers, including preferential orientation within some indiv...
