Using diamond-based magnetic imaging, we can look through optically opaque materials. Here we use this to reveal the interaction between spin waves and a superconductor.

We demonstrate a scanning-NV sensor consisting of a diamond nanobeam that is optically coupled to a tapered optical fiber. This nanobeam sensor combines a natural scanning-probe geometry with high-efficiency through-fiber optical excitation and readout of the NV spins.

Nanoscale spin waves are promising as on-chip signal carriers. We use a single spin in diamond to reveal the surprising multitude of spin waves excited by a microwave stripline.

Spin waves are collective exctiations in magnetic materials that are promising signal carriers. We introduce a new technique for imaging spin waves, based on NV spins in diamond. In contrast with other techniques, it detects spin waves via their microwave magnetic fields, enabling high-resolution imaging through optically opaque materials.
