High-quality single photon emitters are an important building block in the field of quantum technologies. The organic dye molecule dibenzanthanthrene (DBATT, C30H16) is a notable single photon emitter that allows for high single photon purity, high photon flux and narrow-band emission simultaneously. In this work, we validate that the linewidth of the emission from the molecule can reach the Fourier limit under cryogenic conditions. We measure the transverse relaxation time T2 by the Ramsey Spectroscopy, i.e. by applying two optical π/2 pulses with an interval τ on the molecule. Alternatively, we also get T2 from the linewidth at low power limit. By confirming that T2 is governed by the longitudinal relaxation time T1, we conclude that the dephasing processes in the system are negligible and the linewidth of the emitted photon is truly Fourier limited, which makes the emitter ideal for quantum interference experiments.
