Recent experiments have proven colour centres in diamond to be highly suitable for application in quantum information processing. Nevertheless there is an ongoing search for a colour centre combining the milliseconds electron spin coherence times of the nitrogen vacancy centre at room temperature with the insensitivity to electrical field noise and the close to unity Debye-Waller factor of the silicon vacancy (SiV) centre. One promising candidate to achieve this aim is the tin vacancy (SnV) centre. Its negative charge state exhibits a similar electronic fine structure as the SiV but exceeds its ground state splitting by a factor of 20 and thereby potentially enables long spin coherence times at liquid helium temperatures. The neutral charge state, however, remains unstudied so far. We here present spectroscopic investigations on the SnV(-) centre such as polarization, lifetime, Debye-Waller factor and temperature dependence of linewidth and lineshifts. Furthermore we provide first spectroscopic studies of the neutral charge state.
