Single defect centers in diamond and especially the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) show remarkable physical properties such as long spin coherence time and the emission of single photons. These properties make them ideal candidates for qubits and nano-scale magnetic field sensors [1].

High frequency sensing, using a two level system, is considered T2* limited, given dynamical decoupling techniques cannot be applied on a time scale shorter than the on-resonance signal being measured.

We present the implementation of a novel technique to measure a weak high frequency signal using a detuned two level system and a series of continuous driving fields prolonging the coherence time of the two level system in principle close to its T1 time [2].

The technique is demonstrated on a single NV center in diamond as the two level system, measuring a weak high frequency signal, with a coherence time over an order of magnitude longer than its T2*.
