• Abstract: Impurity-bound excitons in II-VI semiconductors are promising optically active solid-state spin qubit systems. Previous work relied on incoherent optical excitation to generate photons from these impurities. However, many quantum applications require resonant driving to directly excite optical transitions and maintain coherence. Here, we demonstrate coherent optical emission from a resonantly driven single impurity-bound exciton in ZnSe. We observe resonance fluorescence and verify the emission coherence through polarization interferometry. Resonant excitation also enables the direct measurement of the Debye-Waller factor, determined to be 0.94, indicating high efficiency emission to the zero-phonon line. Time-resolved resonance fluorescence measurements reveal a fast optically driven ionization process attributed to Auger recombination, along with a slower spontaneous ionization process having a lifetime of 21 {\mu}s due to charge tunneling from the impurity. We demonstrate that a low-power incoherent pump laser efficiently stabilizes the charge of the impurity-bound exciton on the timescale of 9.3 ns. Our results pave the way for direct coherent optical and spin control through resonant excitation of impurity-bound excitons in II-VI semiconductors.
