The negatively charged silicon vacancy center (V2) in silicon carbide (SiC) has recently emerged as a promising realization of a solid-state spin-photon interface. Remarkably, it exhibits narrow optical linewidths, even when integrated into nanostructures, and at temperatures up to 20 K. However, only a small fraction of the light is emitted into the coherent zero-phonon line. An optical microcavity can be used to enhance this fraction via the Purcell effect. In this work, we integrate a three micron thin membrane of SiC containing color centers into a cryogenic fiber-based Fabry-Pérot-resonator. We study the cavity-membrane system and find excellent agreement with our model and minimal losses introduced by the membrane. We observe Purcell enhancement of the zero-phonon line, manifesting itself in a lifetime shortening and a strong zero-phonon line emission. Utilizing the spectral selectively of the cavity allows us to address individual defects in a spatially dense sample, which results in a high single photon purity.
