The recently discovered spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a layered van der Waals material, have great potential quantum sensing. However, the photoluminescence and contrast of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) hBN are relatively low so far, which limits their sensitivity. Here we report record-high ODMR 46$\%$ at room temperature, simultaneous enhancement by up to 17-fold surface plasmon gold-film microwave waveguide. Our results obtained with shallow vacancy...
