Optically-active spins in solids are appealing candidates for quantum technological applications due to the unique interplay between their spins and photons. The performance of those spin-based technologies is further boosted with highly-efficient spin-photon interfaces, such as a nanophotonic resonantor. The design of such nanostructures requires comprehensive understanding of the system’s spin-optical dynamics. To overcome this, we developed a full set of measurements combining sublifetime short resonant and off-resonant pulses to infer the transition rates of a single color center i.e. V1 center in silicon carbide, with high precision. With those measured rates, we also estimated the quantum efficiency of the system. Our method paves way for a better understanding of the intrinsic properties of color centers, which in turn guides the design of nanophotonic resonators.
