Single-photon sources operating at fiber-optic communication wavelengths are essential for transmitting quantum information over long distances. Self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in microcavities that emit in the telecom C-band, where silica fiber losses are minimal, are particularly promising. In this study, we present our recent progress in InP-based photonic structures operating at telecom wavelengths. The fabrication of low-density symmetric QDs is achieved by carefully controlling the QD growth using a special growth technique. Low-temperature single-dot spectroscopy reveals sharp excitonic emission lines with negligible fine structure splitting. These QDs exhibit bright and pure single-photon emission over a wide range of the third telecom window. Furthermore, the hybrid integration of InP-based single-photon sources on a CMOS processed silicon photonic chip is discussed.
