Abstract
On the demand of single-photon entangled light sources and high-sensitivity probes in the fields of quantum information processing, weak magnetic field detection and biosensing, the nitrogen vacancy (NV) color center is very attractive and has been deeply and intensively studied, due to its convenience of spin initialization, operation, and optical readout combined with long coherence time in the ambient environment. Although the application prospect is promising, there are still some problems to be solved before fully exerting its characteristic performance, including enhancement of emission of NV centers in certain charge state (NV- or NV0 ), obtaining indistinguishable photons, and improving of collecting efficiency for the photons. Herein, the research progress in these issues is reviewed and commented on to help researchers grasp the current trends. In addition, the development of emerging color centers, such as germanium vacancy defects, and rare-earth dopants, with great potential for various applications, are also briefly surveyed.

Abstract
Fluorescence correlation experiments were performed on rhodamine 6G in PDMS spin-coated films on glass surfaces. With polarised excitation, ensemble bleaching of the dye and single molecule intensity fluctuations were observed. From the statistics of single molecule intensity data taken at different positions in the film, correlation functions were calculated. Two modes of motion with exponential decay shapes and correlation times of tau(c) = 0.15 s and tau(c) = 0.7 s could be detected. Potential origins of intensity fluctuations are lateral diffusion, rotational diffusion or intramolecular fluctuations of dyes involving spectral diffusion or photoinduced processes. From the experimental results, lateral diffusion can be ruled out as a motional mode. Single molecule fluctuations are assigned to changes of the molecular configuration of the dyes, which are rigidly bound to the glass. To assess the environmental influence on such molecular motions, the bulk viscosity of the PDMS was varied over two orders of magnitude, leading to changes of tau(c) of the slow mode by a factor of four. This result proves the sensitivity of the single molecule fluctuations to the molecular scale dynamics of the surrounding polymer matrix and makes the correlation time a measure of the local environment of dye probes.
