This application provides example optical switching methods and example apparatuses. One example method includes generating K images that are consecutive in time sequence, where a first wavelength channel and at least one second wavelength channel are switched to a blocking state through a same image in the K images, and a value of K depends on a quantity of times that attenuation adjustment is performed for switching the first wavelength channel from a normal state to the blocking state.
