Understanding OSNR: A Key Metric in Optical Communication

In the rapidly evolving landscape of optical communication, Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) stands as a critical parameter that determines the quality and reliability of data transmission. As of August 2025, the global push for higher bandwidths—driven by 5G, cloud computing, and advanced research—has intensified the need for robust optical networks. Fiber optic systems, which transmit […]
