Quantum technology requires the creation and control over single photons as an important resource. We present a single photon source based on a single molecule which is attached to the end-facet of an optical fiber. To realize a narrow linewidth, the system is cooled down to liquid-helium temperatures. The molecule is optically excited and its fluorescence is collected through the fiber. We have recorded an excitation spectrum, a saturation curve and analyzed the contributions of Raman background fluorescence. This presents to date the crucial limit for the introduced device. The single photon nature is proven by an anti-bunched auto-correlation recording, which also shows coherent Rabi oscillations.
