By utilizing a bow-tie cavity, we obtain a cavity enhancement factor of 4.06 ' 104. Our measurement of the second-order correlation function G(2)(τ) reveals that the linewidth of 2.4MHz has been hitherto unachieved in the 1.5μm telecom band. This two-photon source is useful for obtaining a high absorption probability close to unity by quantum memories set inside quantum repeater nodes. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, the observed spectral brightness of 3.94 ' 105 pairs/(s&MHz&mW) is also the highest reported over all wavelengths.}, pages = {042801-1--042801-5}, title = {Ultrabright narrow‐band telecom two‐photon source for long‐distance quantum communication}, volume = {11}, year = {2018} }
