NV centres can be used as nodes in quantum communication networks by remote controlled entanglement. The success of such entanglement schemes depends on the probability of photons being emitted in the zero-phonon line. To increase this probability, NV centres in thin diamond membranes are placed in optical cavities. However, NV centres in thin diamond membranes often show much larger strain splitting. In this thesis, the effect of such strain interactions on the population dynamics and homogeneous broadening of the zero-phonon line of the excited state is determined.
