The NV center in diamond has been attracting attention from the viewpoint of applying ultrasensitive sensors and quantum information devices such as single photon sources because of their outstanding photostability. Here, we demonstrate the creation of NV centers in a wide region such as a millimeter-sized region using only an intense single femtosecond laser pulse irradiation.
