The invention relates to a 
high resolution reconfigurable optical analog-to-
digital conversion method and device, in particular to an optical analog-to-
digital conversion device with the sampling rate capable of being reconfigured according to any power of 2. The device comprises a pulse 
laser, a reconfigurable repetition frequency multiplication module, an electro-optic 
signal sampling module and a reconfigurable 
signal quantization and reconstruction module. According to the device, a high-stability passively mode-locked pulse 
laser is adopted as a 
system optical clock, and a heavy frequency multiplication module based on a multi-channel 
multiplexing technology is used, so that high speed 
optical clock signals can be effectively acquired. A switching device is used for changing channel numbers of the heavy frequency multiplication module and a back-end parallel 
photoelectric conversion and quantization module, so that multiplication of the light sampling rate is realized according to 
reconfigurability of power of 2, time 
delay and range matching are not required to be readjusted after marked, and the switching speed of the 
system in working states is guaranteed by quick response of the switching device. Besides, high speed optical sampling of electric signals is realized by the aid of an ultra 
broadband electro-optic modulator (or an electro-optic sampling gate), and finally, high speed optical analog-to-
digital conversion is realized by the aid of parallel 
photoelectric conversion, parallel electric quantization and parallel 
data processing.
