Abstract: | We introduce a novel concept for optical frequency measurement and division which employs a Kerr-lens, mode-locked laser as
a transfer oscillator whose noise properties do not enter the measurement process. We experimentally demonstrate that this
method opens up the route to phase-link signals with arbitrary frequencies in the optical or microwave range while their frequency
stability is preserved.
