    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for extracting an optical clock using filters and an amplifier. The object of the present invention is to provide an extraction of neighboring frequency components using wavelength fixed optical filters and an amplifier. In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for extracting an optical clock to extract a clock from the optical signal provided with plurality of peaks on a spectrum, including a first filter for extracting a central frequency component, a second filter for extracting a frequency component adjacent to the first frequency component, the amplifier for amplifying amplitude of the second frequency component until the amplitude of the second frequency component becomes the same as that of the first frequency component and the receiver for extracting a clock to do beating the first frequency component and the second frequency component.
