The invention discloses a dual-channel all-optical switch device based on two-dimensional Bi2O2Se and a design method of the dual-channel all-optical switch device. The core of the device is an optical interference structure formed by two-dimensional Bi2O2Se nanosheets arranged on a mica substrate. The same group of transient absorption spectrum data is obtained through a pumping-detection system, and is decoupled into two independent switching channels: a channel I is based on carrier relaxation dynamics, and switching is realized by detecting a ground state bleaching signal at a wave band of 560-670 nm; the channel II is based on refractive index modulation caused by a Kramers-Kronig relationship, and realizes switching by analyzing interference fringe signals formed by probe light between the upper surface of the nanosheet and the lower surface of the mica substrate. The invention also provides a quantitative design method of the device, and the method achieves the fitting of an interference fringe signal through building a transient refractive index model, and precisely solves the relative refractive index change dynamics.
