Popis: Abstract The family of room temperature atomic scale magnetometers is currently limited to nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. However, nitrogen-vacancy centers are insensitive to strong off-axis magnetic fields. In this work, we show that the well-known TR12 radiative defect in diamond, exhibits strong optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) signal under optical saturation. We also demonstrate that the spin system responsible for the magnetic resonance is an excited triplet state that can be coherently controlled at room temperature on a single defect level. The high optically detected magnetic resonance contrast, which is maintained even for strong off-axis magnetic fields, suggests that TR12 centers can be used for vector magnetometry even at high field.
