    Abstract: There are provided a clock node, a controller, a method of operating the clock node and a method of operating the controller in a time distribution network (TDN) comprising the controller being in data communication with the clock nodes via a control path. The method of operating the clock node comprises: sending, from the clock node via the control path to the controller, a first timestamp-related data; receiving, by the clock node via the control path from the controller, clock-recovery control data generated by the controller using the first timestamp-related data received from the clock node; processing the received clock-recovery control data to extract data usable for phase and frequency recovery; and using the extracted data to steer frequency and phase characterizing the clock node.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical coupler device, especially for monitoring purposes in an optical point-to-point transmission link, which includes a first, a second and a third optical port and is configured to transmit a first optical signal received at the first optical port to the second optical port and to transmit a second optical signal received at the second optical port to the first and third optical port according to a monitoring split ratio with respect to the optical power of the second optical signal, the first and second optical signal having a wavelength lying in a first optical band. The device is further configured to transmit a third and a fourth optical signal received at the third and the second optical port to the respective other optical port, the third and fourth optical signal having a wavelength lying in a second optical band. The device is controllable with respect to the monitoring split ratio and includes a control means adapted to receive a control signal. The control means controls the optical coupler device with respect to the monitoring split ratio such that in a first work the second optical signal is transmitted to the first optical port, only, and in a second work mode a major portion of the optical power of the second signal is transmitted to the first optical port and a minor portion of the optical power of the second signal is transmitted to the third optical port.
