Abstract
The coherence characteristics of a tin-vacancy color center in diamond are investigated through optical means including coherent population trapping between the ground state orbital levels and linewidth broadening effects. Due to the large spin-orbit splitting of the orbital ground states, thermalization between the ground states occurs at rates that are impractical to measure directly. Here, spectral information is transformed into its conjugate variable time, providing picosecond resolution and revealing an orbital depolarization timescale of ${\sim30{\rm~ps}}$. Consequences of the investigated dynamics are then used to estimate spin dephasing times limited by thermal effects.
