The present invention relates to an optical access system for dual service network, which mainly comprises an optical modulation device which is used to receive on-off keying (OOK) signal from cable network and radio frequency (RF) signal from wireless network, the optical modulation device then modulates the OOK signal and the RF signal to an optical signal and send out an output optical signal. Lastly, the output optical signal is being delivered to an optical receiving device through an optical fiber transmission channel, and the optical receiving device can access the OOK signal and RF signal from the output optical signal. In addition, the present invention does not require remote nodes (receiver side) to use any optical filter to discern on-off keying signal from cable network and RF signal from wireless network. The present invention can also apply to the field of wavelength-division multiplexing system.

An adjustable optical signal delay module which adjusts power of an amplified spontaneous emission generated by a semiconductor optical amplifier and feeds the adjusted amplified spontaneous emission back to the semiconductor optical amplifier in a direction opposite to an optical signal being amplified by the semiconductor optical amplifier is provided. The feedback of the adjusted amplified spontaneous emission varies a group refractive index of the semiconductor optical amplifier and delays the transmission of an optical signal through the semiconductor optical amplifier. By that arrangement, the adjustable optical delay module obviates the need for the pump laser conventionally required by a coherent population oscillation mechanism. The feedback optical loop includes a variable optical attenuator, an optical filter, and optical circulators. A user can control the delay timing of optical signals via adjusting optical power in the feedback optical loop.
