Scalable quantum networks rely on efficient spin photon interfaces. Existing platforms such as diamond or quantum dots offer high performance but often come with limitations in fabrication scalability or coherence properties. The V2 color center in 4H-SiC, emitting at 917 nm, combines long spin coherence with material and fabrication scalability, making it a compelling platform for integrated quantum nodes. In this work, we design high-Q 1D photonic crystal cavities to enhance the Zero-Phonon Line (ZPL) emission. Simulations of the optimized design predict a quality factor of Q ≈ 1.2 × 105 with a low mode volume, Vmode ≈ 1.3 (λ/n)3. To realize this performance in a scalable photonic architecture, we fabricate the devices using advanced nanofabrication methods, followed by the integration of 45∘ undercut couplers, enabling efficient vertical excitation and collection. Transmission spectroscopy reveals narrow resonance peaks, validating the optical design. Combining high-Q engineering with efficient light coupling, this platform offers a scalable route for spin-photon interfaces in quantum networks.
