Quantum key distribution (QKD) is gradually moving towards network applications. It is important to improve the performance of QKD systems such as photonic integration for compact systems, the stability resistant to environmental disturbances, high key rate, and high efficiency in QKD applications. In the letter, we propose a general quantum decoding model, namely orthogonal-polarizations-exchange reflector Michelson interferometer model, to solve quantum channel disturbance caused by environment. Based on the model, we give a quantum phase decoder scheme, i.e. a Sagnac configuration based orthogonal-polarizations-exchange reflector Michelson interferometer (SRMI). Besides the stability immune to quantum channel disturbance, the SRMI decoder can be fabricated with photonic integrated circuits, and suitable to gigahertz phase encoding QKD systems, and can increase the system efficiency because of the low insertion loss of the decoder.
