Photoluminescence (PL) from femtosecond-laser-modified regions inside cubic-boron nitride (c-BN) was measured under UV and visible light excitation. Bright PL at the red spectral range was observed, with a typical excited state lifetime of similar to 4 ns. Sharp emission lines are consistent with PL of intrinsic vibronic defects linked to the nitrogen vacancy formation (via Frenkel pair) observed earlier in high-energy electron-irradiated and ion-implanted c-BN. These, formerly known as the radiation centers, RC1, RC2, and RC3, have been identified at the locus of the voids formed by a single femtosecond-laser pulse. The method is promising to engineer color centers in c-BN for photonic applications. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America
