Abstract We report a fiber-based four-state discrete modulation continuous variable quantum key distribution system based on homodyne detection. A secret key rate of 1 kbit/s is achieved at a transmission distance of 30.2 km. Two factors that result in the excess noises of the quantum key distribution system are analyzed. The first is the relative phase dithering between the signal and local fields, and the second is the local field leakage into the signal field due to the scattering process that depolarizes the local field. It is found that the latter has a significant impact on the excess noise, which is the main limiting factor to the long-distance secure quantum transmission. Some protocols are also given to decrease the excess noise effectively.
