Reed-Solomon Turbo Product Codes for Optical Communications: From Code Optimization to Decoder Design

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Turbo product codes (TPCs) are an attractive solution to improve link budgets and reduce systems costs by relaxing the requirements on expensive optical devices in high capacity optical transport systems. In this paper, we investigate the use of Reed-Solomon (RS)...
