Article Synopsis
  • * Traditional methods like detonation and grinding are less effective because they involve complex post-processing and lack control over the size and fluorescence of the nanodiamonds.
  • * The study introduces a novel technique using pulsed laser ablation on an N-doped graphite target, demonstrating successful synthesis while analyzing the effects of different environments and controlling the number of NV centers in the nanodiamonds produced.

We report on a polarization-sensitive optical gain in a blue-emitting Si/SiO(2) nanocrystalline system having a high degree of emission polarization memory. This system can show a positive optical gain or optical loss depending on the polarization state of the pump and emitted light. Under optical gain conditions, the degree of polarization of the amplified spontaneous emission increases with the pumping fluence.
