According to the correlated photon pairs produced by spontaneous four-wave mixing in dispersion-shifted fiber, we present a telecom-band single-photon source by using mode-locked laser. Single-photons with a -3 dB bandwidth of 1.1 nm are heralded with more than 50% probability. The measured second-order correlation g(2)(0) is equal to 0.090.01. Our source is well suit for quantum communication systems.
