  abstract =     "This paper reports a novel single mode source of narrow-band entangled photon
                 pairs at telecom wavelengths under continuous wave (CW) excitation, based on
                 parametric down conversion. For only 7mW of pump power it has a created spectral
                 radiance of 0.08 pairs per coherence length and a bandwidth of 10 pm (1.2 GHz). The
                 effectively emitted spectral brightness reaches 3.9 x 10(5) pairs s(-1) pm(-1).
                 Furthermore, when combined with low jitter single photon detectors, such sources
                 allow for the implementation of quantum communication protocols without any active
                 synchronization or path length stabilization. A Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM)-dip with
                 photons from two autonomous CW sources has been realized demonstrating the setup's
                 stability and performance.",
