Single photon emitters (SPEs) in two-dimensional hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) are promising candidates for future sources of quantum states of light [1]. In this paper the direct and absolute measurement of the quantum efficiency (QE) of these emitters in few layers hBN is discussed [2]. In contrast to earlier approaches to determine the QE of SPEs in hBN, we use a method [2] that is independent of incomplete excitation saturation, indirect excitation paths through the yet unknown energy level system, or the detection efficiency of the setup. We used a Drexhage-type configuration and performed lifetime measurements of the SPEs as a function of their distance to a metal hemisphere attached to the tip of a Atomic Force Microscope. Two emitter families with different QEs can be identified. The highest QEs found approach 87(7) % at a zero phonon line wavelength of 580 nm.
