Single photon sources are key components for novel hybrid quantum systems, which will allow the implementation of quantum technologies like quantum repeaters or other quantum network architectures. Quantum emitters in hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) revealed promising attributes such as a homogeneous linewidth in agreement with the Fourier-Transform limit up to room temperature (RT) [1,2]. However, the full level structure including detailed characteristics of the phononic sideband lack full understanding. Here, we present our recent results leading to a more complete picture of single quantum emitters in hBN. We focus on the persistence of Fourier limited linewidths up to 300K. To examine the emitter level structure of the defect centers, we mainly use resonant (PLE) and off-resonant (PL) photoluminescence spectroscopy. Understanding the underlying physics for the persistence of Fourier limited lines up to room temperature paves the way for the development of novel hybrid quantum systems.
