Rare-earth ions in solid-state hosts exhibit low homogeneous broadening and long spin coherence at cryogenic temperatures thus making them a promising candidate for optical quantum memories [1], optical-microwave transducers [2] and single dopant-based devices such as single photon emitters operating at the telecommunication wavelengths [3]. Here, we present an overview of the spin and optical properties of Er ensembles in Si accessed via resonant photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy [4]. Samples were positioned directly on top of tailor-fabricated superconducting single photon detectors, placed in a dilution refrigerator unit and resonantly excited using fiber optics. Our method provided high collection efficiency and allowed spectral measurements of low Er density samples. The observed Er PLE spectra were strongly affected by the presence of co-dopants such as O, B or P reflecting their influence on the formation of optically active Er sites and corresponding Er optical transition energies. Higher O densities resulted in especially rich PLE spectra suggesting that a variety of Er-O complexes formed due to O doping.
