The invention discloses a liquid crystal photoelectric waveguide-based optical cross-connect device, comprising an optical cross-connect device body, and the optical cross-connect device body is composed of a liquid crystal photoelectric waveguide-based optical switch array. Each of the said optical switches controls the formation and disappearance of the liquid crystal photoelectric waveguide by the drive voltage and switches the light beam propagation path to realize the exchange of N x N multi-port optical signals. The invention, based on ensuring the optical loss, port scalability and switching speed comparable to that of MEMS devices, has the advantages of smaller device size, low drive voltage and power consumption, good single-chip integration, and stronger robustness, etc. It can realize high-performance multi-port optical switching and good single-chip integration, which is suitable for switching applications in data centers. It has the value of promoting application.
