Abstract

We present the metrological characterization of single-photon emitters based on single point defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to be used in quantum radiometry. The characterization is performed in terms of their spectral characteristics, single-photon properties and stability of photon flux emission at room temperature. A statistical analysis of 563 emitters has been carried out showing that approximately one third of the photon emission can be attributed to single photon emitters. In addition, a relative calibration of two single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors using a selected hBN single-photon emitter is presented.
