Abstract We show that the interaction of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond with a strain field in a photonic crystal can lead to acoustic wave transparency. This occurs due to the strong interaction of photons with the modified photonic reservoir near the photonic band edge created by the photonic crystal. For achieving this, we explore the properties of the spin states of the ground state of the nitrogen-vacancy centers, where one transition interacts with a strain field while the other transition has spontaneous emission that occurs near the edge of the photonic band gap, which should be in the microwave regime. We show that depending on the form of the photonic density of states acoustic wave transparency is obtained at one or two frequencies.
