• Abstract summary: We report successful incorporation of an ensemble of G centers in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microrings using ion implantation and conventional nanofabrication. The coupling between the emitters and the resonant modes of the microrings is studied using continuous-wave and time-resolved microphotoluminescence (PL) experiments.

• Abstract: We report successful incorporation of an ensemble of G centers in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microrings using ion implantation and conventional nanofabrication. The coupling between the emitters and the resonant modes of the microrings is studied using continuous-wave and time-resolved microphotoluminescence (PL) experiments. We observe the resonant modes of the microrings on PL spectra, on the wide spectral range that is covered by G centers emission. By finely tuning the size of the microrings, we match their zero-phonon line at 1278 nm with a resonant mode of quality factor around 3000 and volume 7.2 (lambda over n)^3. The zero-phonon line intensity is enhanced by a factor of 5, both in continuous-wave and time-resolved measurements. This is attributed to the Purcell enhancement of zero-phonon spontaneous emission into the resonant mode and quantitatively understood considering the distribution of the G centers dipoles. Despite the enhancement of the zero-phonon emission, we do not observe any sizeable decrease of the average lifetime of the G centers, which points at a low radiative yield (<10%). We reveal the detrimental impact of parasitic defects in heavily implanted silicon, and discuss the perspectives for quantum electrodynamics experiments with individual color centers in lightly implanted SOI rings. Our results provide key information for the development of deterministic single photon sources for integrated quantum photonics.

• Hopping of the center-of-mass of single G centers in silicon-on-insulator [0.0]
  The G center is a unique defect where the standard Born-Oppenheimer approximation breaks down. The impact of this atomic reconfiguration on the photoluminescence properties of G centers is still largely unknown. We show that single G defects in silicon exhibit a multipolar emission and zero-phonon line fine structures with splittings up to $sim1$ meV.

  In this work, we perform cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments with ensembles of artificial atoms embedded in silicon-on-insulator microresonators. We observe a 20-fold enhancement of the zero-phonon line intensity, together with a two-fold decrease of the total relaxation time in time-resolved photoluminescence experiments. We obtain a good agreement with our experimental results assuming a quantum efficiency of $65 pm 10 %$ for the emitters in bulk silicon.

  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.
