Title:
Implementation of Forward Error Correcting Codes in UTA Coherent Optical Communication Testbed
Abstract:
Our approach is to incorporate a forward error correction algorithm into our LeCroy coherent optical modulation analyzer system. We have applied a low-density-parity-check (LDPC) based error correcting codes with a 7% and 25% overhead rate to minimize the bit error rate after decoding at the receiver.
