Abstract
Electro-optic phase modulators are commonly used for polarization and phase encoding in quantum key distribution. Here, a novel state preparation flaw which arises during high speed electro-optic phase modulation is identified and characterized. The impact of this state preparation flaw on the secure key rate is quantified.
