Proposed is an optical clock distribution system in the WDM network, which
particularly relates to a system to control clock synchronization between optical
transmission devices constituting an optical communication network. The optical
clock distribution system includes an optical clock generator converting a clock
signal of PRC (Primary Reference Clock) level into an optical clock signal having
a wavelength 0; a wavelength multiplexer wavelength-multiplexing
the optical clock signal having wavelength 0 together with other
optical wavelength data; and a wavelength-demultiplexer provided in a unit of the
network, wavelength-demultiplexing the optical clock signal having wavelength 0,
wherein the other optical wavelength data are processed in the unit of the
network using the wavelength-demultiplexed optical clock signal having wavelength
0 as a reference clock.
