Resumo

We report the observation of single photon emission from single SiV (silicon-vacancy) centres in diamond produced by ion implantation. The high photostability and the narrow emission bandwidth of about 5 nm at room temperature make SiV centres interesting as a single photon source in practical quantum cryptography. We discuss problems that arise from the nonradiaditve transitions which lower the brightness of the source.
