摘要： The application of the vector magnetometry based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) ensembles has been widely investigated in multiple areas. It has the superiority of high sensitivity and high stability in ambient conditions with microscale spatial resolution. However, a bias magnetic field is necessary to fully separate the resonance lines of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectrum of NV ensembles. This brings disturbances in samples being detected and limits the range of application. Here, we demonstrate a method of vector magnetometry in zero bias magnetic field using NV ensembles. By utilizing the anisotropy property of fluorescence excited from NV centers, we analyzed the ODMR spectrum of NV ensembles under various polarized angles of excitation laser in zero bias magnetic field with a quantitative numerical model and reconstructed the magnetic field vector. The minimum magnetic field modulus that can be resolved accurately is down to $\sim 0.64 $ G theoretically depending on the ODMR spectral line width (1.8 MHz), and $\sim 2 $ G experimentally due to noises in fluorescence signals and errors in calibration. By using $^{13}$C purified and low nitrogen concentration diamond combined with improving calibration of unknown parameters, the ODMR spectral line width can be further decreased below 0.5 MHz, corresponding to $\sim 0.18 $ G minimum resolvable magnetic field modulus.
