Abstract

A system and method for making measurements inside a wellbore makes use of a diamond crystal with a nitrogen vacancy center (NV-center) to sense temperature, pressure, magnetic fields, strain, electric fields, or other parameters of the downhole environment. The system includes a microwave source that can be positioned to produce microwaves inside the wellbore and a light source that can be positioned to produce interrogation light inside the wellbore. The NV-center of the diamond is struck by the interrogation light. A spectrometer can be adapted to receive the excitation light output from the NV-center and produce a spectrum of the excitation light. The spectrum is indicative of the value of the parameter inside the wellbore.
