Method, device, and system for regeneration and application of optical clock
An optical device for regenerating an optical clock, including an optical path provided between an input port to which signal light modulated at a frequency fs is supplied and an output port, and an optical loop optically coupled to the optical path. The optical loop includes an optical amplifier for compensating for a loss in the optical loop so that laser oscillation occurs in the optical loop, an adjuster for adjusting the optical path length of the optical loop so that the frequency fs becomes equal to an integral multiple of the reciprocal of a recirculation period of the optical loop, and a nonlinear optical medium for mode-locking the laser oscillation according to the signal light.
