Summary:

We demonstrate a quantum diamond microscope (QDM) apparatus that is capable of pulsed magnetic field imaging measurements (instead of the traditional continuous-wave implementation), solving several technical challenges to make this possible. We use this instrument to demonstrate a new AC magnetic imaging technique called quantum frequency mixing (QFM), allowing us to image MHz-frequency AC magnetic fields in electronics over a wide frequency range with high sensitivity and spatial resolution.
