Example slide Increasing NMR/MRI Sensitivity
through Optical Hyperpolarization in Diamond

• Scientific Achievement
• Developed a method to completely polarize nuclei
  near optically polarized nitrogen-vacancy centers
  in diamond, without cryogenics or pulsed RF
  fields.
• Significance and Impact
• This method of magnetic control of high nuclear
  polarization at room temperature can be applied
  in sensitivity enhanced nuclear magnetic
  resonance of bulk nuclei, nuclear-based
  spintronics, and quantum computation in diamond.
• Research Details
• Dynamic nuclear polarization is routinely applied
  to enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic
  resonance
• We use optical pumping in NV-defect harboring
  diamond to optically hyperpolarize the carbon
  nuclei through the NV centers to which they are
  coupled, at room temperature
• We demonstrate that the sign and magnitude of the
  polarization can be robustly controlled with a
  small magnetic field

The nitrogen vacancy center in diamond (A) is a
system whose optical and magnetic degrees of
freedom are coupled. The coupling of light to the
spin degrees of freedom at level crossing (B)
results in nuclear spin polarization that depends
sensitively on the magnetic field (C).
