Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 290–293 (2000)Stable Solid-State Source of Single PhotonsReceived 27 March 2000; published in the issue dated 10 July 2000 Fluorescence light observed from a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond exhibits strong photon antibunching: The measured pair correlation function g(2)(0) shows that only one photon is emitted at a time. Nitrogen-vacancy centers are well localized, stable against photobleaching even at room temperature, and can be addressed in simple experimental configurations. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
