Abstract

We demonstrate that strain control of exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride allows spectral tuning of single photon emitters over 6 meV. We propose a material processing that sharply improves the single-photon purity with g(2)(0) = 0.077, and brightness with emission rate exceeding 107counts/sec at saturation.
