Abstract
Microwave pulse sequences are the basis of coherent manipulation of the electronic spin ground state in nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers. In this work we demonstrate stimulated Raman transitions (SRTs) and stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), two ways to drive the dipole-forbidden transition between two spin sublevels in the electronic triplet ground state of the NV center. This driving is achieved by a two-photon Raman microwave pulse which simultaneously drives two detuned transitions via a virtual level for SRTs or via two adiabatic and partially overlapping resonant microwave pulses for STIRAP. We lay the theoretical framework of SRT and STIRAP dynamics and verify experimentally the theoretical predictions of population inversion by observing the dipole-forbidden transition in the ground state of a single NV center. A comparison of the two schemes showed better robustness and success of the spin swap for STIRAP compared to SRT.
