Near-field optical microscopy with a nanodiamond-based single photon tip (2009)
Cuche, A., Drezet, A., Sonnefraud, Y., Faklaris, O., Treussart, F., ...
We introduce a point-like scanning single-photon source that operates at room temperature and offers an exceptional photostability (no blinking, no bleaching). This is obtained by grafting in a...
High nitrogen-vacancy density diamonds for magnetometry applications (2009)
Acosta, V. M., Bauch, E., Ledbetter, M. P., Santori, C., Fu, K. -M. C., Barclay, P. E., ...
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in millimeter-scale diamond samples were produced by irradiation and subsequent annealing under varied conditions. The optical and spin relaxation properties of these...

Long term observations of photoluminescence at the single-molecule level were until recently very difficult, due to the photobleaching of organic fluorophore molecules. Although the inorganic...
Diamond nanoparticles as photoluminescent nanoprobes for biology and near-field optics (2008)
Cuche, A., Sonnefraud, Y., Faklaris, O., Garrot, D., Sauvage, T., ...
We present results showing the potential of diamond nanoparticles with size less than 50 nm as photoluminescent nanoprobes for serving as stable point-like emitters attached at the tip apex of a...
Illustration of quantum complementarity using single photons interfering on a grating (2008)
Jacques, V., Lai, N. D., Dreau, A., Zheng, D., Chauvat, D., Treussart, F., ...
A recent experiment performed by S. S. Afshar et al. has been interpreted as a violation of Bohr's complementarity principle between interference visibility and which-path information in a two-path...
Room temperature triggered single-photon source in the near infrared (2007)
Wu, E, Rabeau, J. R, Roger, G, Treussart, F, Zeng, H, Grangier, P, ...
We report the realization of a solid-state triggered single-photon source with narrow emission in the near infrared at room temperature. It is based on the photoluminescence of a single...
Photoluminescence of single colour defects in 50 nm diamond nanocrystals (2005)
Treussart, F., Jacques, V., Wu, E., Gacoin, T., Grangier, P.
We used optical confocal microscopy to study optical properties of diamond 50 nm nanocrystals first irradiated with an electron beam, then dispersed as a colloidal solution and finally deposited on a...
Single-photon emission in the near infrared from diamond colour centre (2005)
Wu, E, Jacques, V., Treussart, F., Zeng, H., Grangier, P.
Optically active colour centres based on Nickel-Nitrogen impurities are observed in natural diamond under continuous-wave excitation. The spectral analysis shows that the single emitters have a...
Direct Measurement of the Photon Statistics of a Triggered Single Photon Source (2005)
Treussart, F., Alleaume, R., Floc'h, V. Le, Xiao, L. T.
We studied intensity fluctuations of a single photon source relying on the pulsed excitation of the fluorescence of a single molecule at room temperature. We directly measured the Mandel parameter...
