| Popis: | A wide-field magnetometer utilizing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond that does not require microwaves is demonstrated. It is designed for applications where microwaves need to be avoided, such as magnetic imaging of biological or conductive samples. The system exploits a magnetically sensitive feature of NV centers near the ground state level anticrossing (GSLAC). An applied test field from a wire was mapped over an imaging area of $\approx 500 \times 470\,{\mu}\text{m}^2$. Analysis of the GSLAC lineshape allows to extract vector information of the applied field. The device allows micrometer-scale magnetic imaging at a spatial resolution dominated by the thickness of the NV layer (here $50\,{\mu}\text{m}$). For a pixel size of $4\,{\mu}\text{m} \times 3.8\,{\mu}\text{m}$ the estimated sensitivity is $4.8\,{\mu}\text{T}/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$. Two modalities for visualizing the magnetic fields, static and temporal, are presented along with a discussion of technical limitations and future extensions of the method.
