Fabrication of a hybrid diamond‐glass material is reported, by embedding diamond nanocrystals containing nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) color centers into tellurite soft glass. This material allows the fabrication of diamond photonic waveguides using well‐established soft glass techniques, such as microstructured optical fiber technology (the figure is a confocal image that shows color center fluorescence in a fiber).
