We report an all-fiber telecom-band energy-time entangled biphoton source with all physical elements integrated into a compact cabinet.At a pump power of 800 μW, the photon pairs generation rate reaches 6.9 MHz with the coincidence-toaccidental ratio (CAR) better than 1150.The long-term stability of the biphoton source is characterized by measuring the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference visibility and CAR within a continuous operation period of more than 10 h.Benefiting from the advantages of compact size, light weight, and high stability, this device provides a convenient resource for various field turnkey quantum communication and metrology applications.
