| contents | Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) enable the generation of single and entangled photons, useful for various applications in photonic quantum technologies. Specifically for quantum communication via fiber-optical networks, operation in the telecom C-band centered around 1550$\,$nm is ideal. The direct generation of QD-photons in this spectral range and with high quantum-optical quality, however, remained challenging. Here, we demonstrate the coherent on-demand generation of indistinguishable photons in the telecom C-band from single QD devices consisting of InAs/InP QD-mesa structures heterogeneously integrated with a metallic reflector on a silicon wafer. Using pulsed two-photon resonant excitation of the biexciton-exciton radiative cascade, we observe Rabi rotations up to pulse areas of $4π$ and a high single-photon purity in terms of $g^{(2)}(0)=0.005(1)$ and $0.015(1)$ for exciton and biexciton photons, respectively. Applying two independent experimental methods, based on fitting Rabi rotations in the emission intensity and performing photon cross-correlation measurements, we consistently obtain preparation fidelities at the $π$-pulse exceeding 80$\%$. Finally, performing Hong-Ou-Mandel-type two-photon interference experiments we obtain a photon-indistinguishability of the full photon wave packet of up to $35(3)\%$, representing a significant advancement in the photon-indistinguishability of single photons emitted directly in the telecom C-band. |
