Single erbium dopants in nanophotonic resonators are promising for the realization of quantum networks owing to their outstanding optical and spin coherence properties [1] and their large spectral multiplexing potential [2]. Previous experiments used yttrium-based host crystals, in which erbium is integrated in well-defined sites. However, these crystals are not compatible with established nanofabrication techniques, which hinders scalable integration into on-chip photonic circuits. To address this challenge, we have spectroscopically studied ensembles of erbium dopants in silicon nanostructures. After optimizing the erbium implantation procedure, we have observed two well-defined lattice sites with narrow inhomogeneous broadening (< 1 GHz), narrow homogeneous linewidths (< 0.01 MHz) and optical lifetimes of 0.2 ms [3]. In one-dimensional photonic crystal resonators (Q > 104, V ∼λ3), we observe single dopants with a 60-fold Purcell-enhanced emission. We will present studies of the optical coherence, spectral diffusion, spin properties and spectral multiplexing capability of these devices.
