| contents | Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers have considerable promise as high sensitivity magnetometers, however are commonly limited by inefficient collection and low contrasts. Laser threshold magnetometry (LTM) enables efficient collection and high contrasts, providing a path towards higher sensitivity magnetometry. We demonstrate an infrared LTM using an ensemble of NV centers in a single crystal diamond plate integrated into a vertical external cavity surface emitting laser. The laser was tuned to the spin dependent absorption line of the NV centers, allowing for optical readout by monitoring the laser output power. We demonstrate a magnetic sensitivity of 7.5~nT/$\sqrt{\textit{Hz}}$ in the frequency range between 10 and 50 Hz. Furthermore, the contrast and the projected PSNL sensitivity are shown to improve significantly by operating close to the lasing threshold, achieving 18.4\% and 26.6~pT/$\sqrt{\textit{Hz}}$ near threshold. What's more, an unexpected saturable absorption phenomenon was observed near threshold, which enhanced the contrast and projected PSNL sensitivity. |
