Realization of quantum photonic devices requires coupling single quantum emitters to the mode of optical resonators. In this work, a hybrid system consisting of defect centers in few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) grown by chemical vapor deposition and a fiber-based Fabry–Pérot cavity is presented. The sub 10-nm thickness of hBN and its smooth surface enable efficient integration into the cavity mode. This hybrid platform is operated over a broad spectral range larger than 30 nm and its tuneability is used to explore different coupling regimes. Consequently, very large cavity-assisted signal enhancement up to 50-fold and strongly narrowed linewidths are achieved, which is owing to cavity funneling, a record for hBN-cavity systems. Additionally, an excitation and readout scheme is implemented for resonant excitation that allows to establish cavity-assisted photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. This work marks an important milestone for the deployment of 2D materials coupled to fiber-based cavities in practical quantum technologies.
