| Popis: | We characterize a high-density sample of negatively charged silicon-vacancy (${\mathrm{SiV}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$) centers in diamond using collinear optical multidimensional coherent spectroscopy. By comparing the results of complementary signal detection schemes, we identify a hidden population of ${\mathrm{SiV}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ centers that is not typically observed in photoluminescence and which exhibits significant spectral inhomogeneity and extended electronic ${T}_{2}$ times. The phenomenon is likely caused by strain, indicating a potential mechanism for controlling electric coherence in color-center-based quantum devices. |
