Germanium-Vacancy Color Center in Diamond as a Temperature Sensor

We present high-resolution, all-optical thermometry based on ensembles of germanium-vacancy (GeV) color center in diamond and implement this method of thermometry in the fiber-optic format. Due to the unique properties of diamond, an all-optical approach using this method opens a way to produce back-action-free temperature measurements with resolution below 0.1 K in a wide range of temperatures.
