Abstract: The manipulation of the charge states of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centersin diamond is a prerequisite for next-generation quantum sensing, communication, andcomputing. Here, we use phonon-assisted anti-Stokes excitation to realize the reversibleconversion between the NV0and NV-states. In this case, we observe two decayprocesses of NV-centers with lifetimes as long as tens of seconds. By studying thekinetics of spectral structure evolution of NV-states, wefind that the spectral structure ofthe NV-center is modulated by the charge state transition process under anti-Stokesexcitation. We propose that the main reason is the local electricfield generated by theionization of the NV-, which changes the radiation environment of the color centers. Our results might provide an alternativemethod to control the charge states of nitrogen-vacancy centers
