The excitation scheme is essential for single-photon sources as it prepares the exciton state, defines the decay dynamics, and influences the spectral diffusion of the emitted single photons. Here, we investigate the impact of three different optical excitation strategies on the single-photon emission characteristics of bilayer WSe2 quantum emitters. Under phonon-assisted excitation, we achieve narrow and stable single-photon emission with a purity reaching 0.94±0.02. Furthermore, the decay time is reduced by more than an order of magnitude from (16.65±2.39) ns for above-band excitation to (1.33±0.04) ns for phonon-assisted excitation. Finally, we observe a suppressed spectral wandering along with a two-fold reduction of the spectral linewidth. Our comprehensive investigation highlights the critical role of the excitation method in optimizing the performance of WSe2-based quantum emitters.
