Using pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance techniques, we directly probe electron-spin resonance transitions in the excited-state of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond. Unambiguous assignment of excited state fine structure is made, based on changes of NV defect photoluminescence lifetime. This study provides significant insight into the structure of the emitting 3E excited state, which is invaluable for the development of diamond-based quantum information processing.

- Diamond-based single-photon emitters (2011, background): “The fluorescence lifetime of the NV− center is, however, found to be dependent on the host material, in bulk diamond single NV− centers display lifetimes around 10 ns [47, 51], whilst in nanodiamonds (NDs) the lifetime is considerably longer and variable up to∼24 ns [52–54].”
