On quantum communication technologies based on an optical fiber channel, for example a quantum key distribution, it is essential to generate a single photon and a correlated photon pair at telecom wavelength efficiently. We report on the single-photon generation at 1550 nm using photon pairs generated by the spontaneous parametric down-conversion. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
