- Abstract: Optical emitters of quantum radiation in the solid state are important
building blocks for emerging technologies making use of the laws of quantum
mechanics. The efficiency of photon extraction from the host material is low
for many solid-state systems due to their relatively high index of refraction.
In this article we experimentally study the emission spectrum of an ensemble of
nitrogen-vacancy defects implanted around 8nm below the planar diamond surface
and in the vicinity of a planar silver mirror. Scanning the distance between
diamond and the mirror, we observe an enhancement of the spectral emission
power by up to a factor of 3. We construct a model based on classical dipoles
and elucidate the observations as being caused by interference in the far field
of the emitters.

Quantum emitters in hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) were recently reported to hol a homogeneous linewidth according to the Fourier-Transform limit up to room temperature.
This unusual observation was traced back to decoupling from in-plane phonon modes which can arise if the emitter is located between two planes of the hBN host material.
