الوصف: Cryogenic temperatures are the prerequisite for many advanced scientific applications and technologies. The accurate determination of temperature in this range and at the submicrometer scale is, however, nontrivial. This is due to the fact that temperature reading in cryogenic conditions can be inaccurate due to optically induced heating. Here, we present an ultralow power, optical thermometry technique that operates at cryogenic temperatures. The technique exploits the temperature dependent linewidth broadening measured by resonant photoluminescence of a two level system, a germanium vacancy color center in a nanodiamond host. The proposed technique achieves a relative sensitivity of 20% 1/K, at 5 K. This is higher than any other all optical nanothermometry method. Additionally, it achieves such sensitivities while employing excitation powers of just a few tens of nanowatts, several orders of magnitude lower than other traditional optical thermometry protocols. To showcase the performance of the method, we demonstrate its ability to accurately read out local differences in temperatures at various target locations of a custom-made microcircuit. Our work is a definite step towards the advancement of nanoscale optical thermometry at cryogenic temperatures.
