The measurement precision of the hal-f wave voltage seriously affects the perform ance of its applied system. A new method is proposed to measure the ha l-f wave voltage based on the Sagnac opt ica -l fiber interferometer according to the phase modulator c s applying model in quantum key distribution system. The data should be reliable compared with other methods because the same modulating pat tern is adopted as the quantum key distribution system. This method is dem onstrated experimenta lly with the precision of 10mV by measuring the ha l-f wave voltage of the phase modulator from Sum itomo c orporation, which is used in the differential pha se shift quantum key distribution system, and the obt a ined quantum bit error rate is lower than that of the c onventional extreme m easure method.
