METHOD FOR RESOLVING NATURAL SENSOR AMBIGUITY FOR DNV DIRECTION FINDING APPLICATIONS

摘要

A system for unambiguously determines a signed magnetic field vector from a magneto-optical defect center magnetic field sensor. The magneto-optical magnetic field sensor may include a diamond nitrogen vacancy material. Some embodiments relate to a system. The system may comprise a nitrogen vacancy (NV) diamond material comprising a plurality of NV centers; a magnetic field source; a radio frequency (RF) excitation source configured to provide RF excitation to the NV diamond material; an optical excitation source configured to provide optical excitation to the NV diamond material; an optical detector configured to receive an optical signal emitted by the NV diamond material; and a controller.
