Single defect centres in diamond and especially the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) show remarkable physical properties making them ideal candidates for single photon sources, qubits and nano-scale magnetic field sensors [1]. In a continuous decoupling protocol [2] the electron spin of the NV center is subjected to continuous Rabi driving with a periodically alternating phase forming the Rotary Echo (RE) scheme [3]. We show that this technique improves greatly the resolution for magnetic field sensing (by a factor of 10) compared to conventional dynamical decoupling techniques [4]. We believe, that RE is one of the promising candidates for the detection of individual nuclear spins in the emerging field of diamond magnetometry.
