For the future development of quantum communication, triggered entangled-photon pairs are of fundamental importance. The integration of single photons into existing optical fiber networks requires the use of telecom wavelengths. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are promising candidates for providing on-demand, indistinguishable polarization-entangled photon pairs. Here, we generate photons emitted via the biexciton-exciton cascade in GaAs QDs formed via Al droplet etching, emitting at 780nm. In a bi-directional polarization-conserving quantum frequency converter, we convert the biexciton emission to 1515nm. Polarization-entanglement is measured after the transmission through a 35km inner-city fiber network.
