Lead-Related Quantum Emitters in Diamond

We investigate the optical properties of quantum emitters formed in diamond after the implantation of Pb and subsequent high-temperature annealing. We find narrow-band emission in two spectral ranges, indicating multiple classes of Pb-related color centers.
