    Abstract: An optical receiving assembly, a method for controlling the same, and an optical module are provided. The optical receiving assembly includes an optical receiving port, an adjustable optical path deflection assembly, a semiconductor optical amplifier, an optical detector, and a controller. An optical signal received by the optical receiving port is incident onto the semiconductor optical amplifier after a deflection angle of the optical signal is adjusted. The semiconductor optical amplifier amplifies and couples the incident optical signal to the optical detector, which converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal for output. The controller controls the adjustable optical path deflection assembly to adjust the deflection angle according to the changes of the electrical signal strength, so as to adjust a coupling efficiency of the optical signal coupled to the semiconductor optical amplifier and maintain the electrical signal output by the optical detector within a preset range.
