Abstract: The present invention provides an all-optical switching system and the method thereof. The system comprises: N 1×M splitters for receiving N sets of optical data I1, I2, . . . , IN−1, IN, wherein said N splitters individually split said N sets of optical data separately to form a N×M matrix of optical data, wherein N and M are integers; a N×M matrix switching structure for receiving the N×M matrix of optical data generated by the N splitters and another driving signal matrix to generate N×M matrix of optical data; and M N×1 combiners for receiving the N×M matrix of optical data from the N×M matrix switching structure to combine them into M sets of optical data O1, O2, . . . , OM−1, OM, respectively.
