contents All-optical (AO), microwave-free magnetometry using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond is attractive due to its broad sample compatibility and reduced experimental complexity. In this work, we investigate room-temperature AO photoluminescence (PL) at low magnetic fields (<2 mT) using diamonds with NV ensembles at ppm concentrations. Measured AO-PL contrast features as a function of applied magnetic field magnitude and direction are correlated with near-degenerate NV electronic spin and hyperfine transitions from different NV orientations within the diamond host. Reasonable agreement is found between low-field AO-PL measurements and model-based simulations of the effects of resonant dipolar interactions between NV centers. Maximum observed AO-PL contrast depends on both NV concentration and laser illumination intensity at 532 nm. These results imply different optimal conditions for low-field AO NV sensing compared to conventional optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) techniques, suggesting new research and application opportunities using AO measurements with lower system complexity, size, weight, and power.
