We report on the coupling of single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers to ultrathin fiber-taper nanofibers by the manipulation of single diamond nanocrystals on the nanofibers under real-time observation of nanodiamond fluorescence. Spin-dependent fluorescence of the single NV centers is efficiently detected through the nanofiber. We show control of the spin sub-level structure of the electronic ground state using an external magnetic field and clearly observe a frequency fine tuning of [Formula: see text].

We demonstrate cooling of ultrathin fiber tapers coupled with nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds to cryogenic temperatures. Nanodiamonds containing multiple NV centers are deposited on the subwavelength 480-nm-diameter nanofiber region of fiber tapers. The fiber tapers are successfully cooled to 9 K using our home-built mounting holder and an optimized cooling speed.

We cooled ultrathin tapered fibers to cryogenic temperatures and controllably coupled them with high-Q microsphere resonators at a wavelength close to the optical transition of diamond nitrogen vacancy centers. The 310-nm-diameter tapered fibers were stably nanopositioned close to the microspheres with a positioning stability of approximately 10 nm over a temperature range of 7-28 K. A cavity-induced phase shift was observed in this temperature range, demonstrating a discrete transition from undercoupling to overcoupling.

We present a fiber-coupled diamond-based single photon system. Single nanodiamonds containing nitrogen vacancy defect centers are deposited on a tapered fiber of 273 nanometer in diameter providing a record-high number of 689,000 single photons per second from a defect center in a single-mode fiber. The system can be cooled to cryogenic temperatures and coupled evanescently to other nanophotonic structures, such as microresonators.

We report on the development of a microfluidic system for the electrical detection of single pollen allergen particles. Our device consists of 500 nm electrode gaps fabricated in an 800 nm wide fluidic channel. We flowed pollen allergen particles of average size 330 nm along the channel via fluid pumping and simultaneously monitored temporal change in dc current flowing through the sensing electrodes.
