The invention provides a multi-die higher-order photonic switching structure based on a high-density memory in order to solve the problem of limited structure of a switching chip due to the bandwidthbottleneck of the memory of the conventional photonic switching structure. The structure is formed by mutual connection of K completely same photonic switching dies based on the high-density memoriesthrough an inter-chip interconnection network and includes N input/output ports, and each photonic switching die comprises N/K input ports, N/K electro-optical conversion modules, N/K separators, a storage input photonic switching network, an optical waveguide, a storage input buffer, a memory control logic, an inter-chip interconnection input output agent module, an inter-chip input buffer, an alternative selector, the high-density memory, a storage output buffer, a storage output photonic switching network, N/K photoelectric conversion modules, and N/K output ports, wherein K, N and k are all integers, 1<=k<=K, and K<=N. According to the structure, the complexity of the switching structure and the cost of optical devices are substantially reduced, and the order of the switching structureis further extended.
