The quantum properties of the fluorescence light emitted by diamondnanocrystals containing a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) colored center isinvestigated. We have observed photon antibunching with very low backgroundlight. This system is therefore a very good candidate for the production ofsingle photon on demand. In addition, we have measured larger NV centerlifetime in nanocrystals than in the bulk, in good agreement with a simplequantum electrodynamical model.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, revised version, to appear in PR
