The negatively charged tin-vacancy (SnVāˆ’) center in diamond has emerged as a promising platform for quantum computing and quantum networks. To connect SnVāˆ’ qubits in large networks, in situ tuning and stabilization of their optical transitions are essential to overcome static and dynamic frequency offsets induced by the local environment. Here, we report on the large-range optical frequency tuning of diamond SnVāˆ’ centers using micro-electro-mechanically mediated strain control in photonic integrated waveguide devices. We realize a tuning range of >40 GHz, covering a major part of the inhomogeneous distribution. In addition, we employ real-time feedback on the strain environment to stabilize the resonance frequency and mitigate spectral wandering. These results provide a path for on-chip scaling of diamond SnV-based quantum networks.
