Colour centres in diamond are promising candidates for quantum information processing applications. The nitrogen-vacancy centre exhibits milliseconds coherence times for the electron spin at room temperature while the silicon-vacancy (SiV) centre excels with negligible spectral diffusion and emission of the majority of photons into its zero phonon line. A potential candidate combining long coherence times with outstanding optical properties is the tin-vacancy (SnV) centre. The fine structure ground state splitting is about a factor 20 larger than for the SiV thereby potentially suppressing phonon mediated decoherence processes already at liquid helium temperatures. We here present spectroscopy on SnV centres determining the lifetime and polarization as well as the temperature dependence of linewidth and line shifts. Furthermore, a precise determination of Debye-Waller factor and single photon emission properties are presented, enabling further investigations of spin coherence times assessing the suitability of the SnV centre as spin qubit.
