Background:

Few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a material with unique luminescent properties.
Integrating hBN into optical cavities can enhance its light-emitting characteristics.
Energetic deposition methods can potentially damage delicate material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the luminescent properties of few-layer hBN embedded within a planar Fabry-Perot cavity.
To assess the impact of pulsed DC magnetron sputtering deposition on hBN's optical characteristics.
To explore the effects of post-deposition annealing on the integrated hBN.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a planar Fabry-Perot cavity using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering.
Embedding few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) within the cavity structure.
Optical characterization of the hBN's luminescence before and after deposition and annealing.
Analysis of surface-normal emission enhancement and material morphology.

Main Results:

Few-layer hBN retained its visible range, defect-based luminescence after energetic deposition.
An emission enhancement factor of approximately 40 was observed, aligning with theoretical predictions.
Rapid thermal annealing induced a cracking effect in the embedded hBN, with glowing edges.

Conclusions:

Monolithic integration of hBN within optical cavities is feasible while preserving its luminescent properties.
The observed enhancement factor validates the cavity design for hBN.
Annealing-induced cracking and localized luminescence offer insights for advanced device engineering with hBN.
