1. A diamond comprising:
- a first portion comprising a plurality of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers dispersed throughout the first portion; and
a second portion adjacent to the first portion, wherein the second portion does not contain NV centers, and wherein the second portion is configured to facilitate transmission of light generated by the NV centers of the first portion away from the first portion.

Abstract
A diamond can be used in a magnetometer to determine the strength of a magnetic field applied to the diamond. The diamond includes a first portion comprising a plurality of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers dispersed throughout the first portion. The diamond also includes a second portion adjacent to the first portion. The second portion does not contain NV centers. The second portion is configured to facilitate transmission of light generated by the NV centers of the first portion away from the first portion.

20. A magneto-optical defect center material comprising:
-
means for absorbing first light with a first frequency and transmitting second light with a second frequency; and means for directing the second light that is adjacent to the means for absorbing the first light and transmitting the second light, wherein the means for directing the second light does not absorb the first light, and wherein the means for directing the second light is configured to facilitate transmission of the second light away from the means for absorbing the first light and transmitting the second light. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
