contents Van der Waals materials are offering intriguing opportunities as building blocks for advanced quantum information technologies and integrated quantum photonic systems. Critical to their development, is robust and high quality light-matter interactions which can be delivered through the fabrication of optical resonators. Here we demonstrate a robust fabrication of one dimensional photonic crystal cavities (1D PCC) and microdisk resonators from hexagonal boron nitride, exhibiting Quality factors of ~ 4300 and ~ 8300, respectively. With these two classes of devices we demonstrated cavity mode tuning via atomic layer deposition and gas condensation. Cavity resonances were shifted by and ~9 nm for the 1D PCCs and ~16 nm in the microdisk resonators, respectively. Our work opening a promising pathway for a realisation emitter cavity coupling in hBN and eventually to a fully integrated quantum photonic circuitry with hBN.
