Abstract
Finding new solid state defect centers in novel host materials is crucial for realizing integrated hybrid quantum photonic devices. We present a preparation method for defect centers with photostable bright single photon emission in zinc oxide, a material with promising properties in terms of processability, availability, and applications. A detailed optical study reveals a complex dynamic of intensity fluctuations at room temperature. Measurements at cryogenic temperatures show very sharp ( Link
