The effect of leaky modes on the operation of RF integrated-optical amplitude modulators and quantum noise generators made according to the Mach-Zehnder interferometer scheme has been studied. It is shown that the optical power dissipation through the leaky modes leads to a decrease in the dynamic range of the amplitude modulator, and, most importantly, to the possible intruder’s attack on a quantum communication line. In relation to the quantum noise generators made according to the Mach-Zehnder interferometer scheme, the leaky modes ensure penetration of vacuum fluctuations into the noise generator circuit that is necessary for the generator operation.
