A clock transfer device is designed to perform long-distance transfer of a
reference clock, which is generated based on a high-precision frequency
standard, toward a remote place. The clock transfer device includes a
first mode-locked laser for generating a first optical pulse train having
a first repetition frequency and a first wavelength, and a second
mode-locked laser for generating a second optical pulse train having a
second repetition frequency and a second wavelength. The first optical
pulse train is introduced into a resonator of the second mode-locked
laser via a wavelength multiplexing coupler so that the second repetition
frequency is passively synchronized with the first repetition frequency;
then, the second optical pulse train is transmitted via a single mode
fiber.
