A quantum repeater node requires a long-lived memory that can be addressed coherently. Additionally, efficient writing and reading of quantum states with high rates are crucial. optical cavities can be used as spin-photon platforms to accomplish such requirements. By coupling silicon vacancy defect centers (SiV−) in a nanodiamond to an open Fabry-Pérot cavity, our work paves the way for a light-matter interface with efficient coherent control. Our fully tunable cavity formed by two Bragg mirrors allows short cavity lengths down to ≈ 1µm, and provides efficient coupling of the quantum emitter at liquid helium temperatures.
Here, we perform photoluminescence measurements of SiV− centers and power-dependent photoluminescence excitation of single SiV− centers by collecting the cavity modulated sideband. We observe spectrally stable emitters and measure a linewidth close to the Fourier limit below Δ ν = 200 MHz. With the Purcell-enhanced cavity signal we demonstrate coherent optical driving and access the electron spin all-optical in a strong external magnetic field.
