Hi No, there is no purely analog way to access the sawtooth information. If you restrict yourself to “pure analog” then the PPS will be bopping around by +/- 10 to +/-20 ns each second. Put another way, you start out with 1 to 2x10^-8 at 1 second. The same thing is true at 10 KHz or at any other output frequency.
To get down to the vicinity of 1x10^-10 with any sort of rational ADEV, you are going to need the equivalent of a very long time constant analog filter. It also needs to have *very* good DC characteristics and low noise. The simple answer is to use a *lot* of C and not much R in the beast. That gets you into a boatload of high quality film capacitors. There is no getting around having a narrow / long time constant filter if you want a useful signal out of the OCXO...
