Since the EPR violation, entangled photons have become key protagonists in quantum technology, serving as communication carriers via polarization qubits. Photon pairs entangled in telecom C-band are particularly advantageous, as this wavelength range minimizes dispersion and loss in standard optical fibers, enabling long-distance communication with reduced signal degradation. In this work, we demonstrate the generation of entangled photon pairs in the telecom C-band using InAs quantum dots integrated with a planar photonic cavity. The cavity enhances photon emission rates and collection efficiency with high entanglement fidelity. The biexciton state, emitting the entangled pair, is prepared using a two-photon excitation scheme. The entanglement is verified through state tomography, confirming the strong quantum correlations between the photons. This work highlights telecom C-band quantum dots' potential as efficient entangled-photon sources for high-performance quantum communication.
