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...

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...
