A router is a hardware device that connects two or more networks. It acts as a gateway between networks. It is a dedicated intelligent network device that reads the address in each data packet and then decides how to transmit it. Routers can be divided into backbone routers (core routers), enterprise-level routers, and access-level routers.   Generally, backbone routers have multiple optical ...

Two important development trends of optical modules are to increase the transmission rate and extend the transmission distance. However, as the transmission rate increases, the signal transmission distance will be limited by many factors, such as chromatic dispersion, nonlinear effects, and polarization mode dispersion. These factors will limit the increase in transmission rate and trans...
