Abstract
A decoding optimization method includes detecting a modulated optical signal to yield a demodulated signal and converting the demodulated signal to a digital signal; equalizing, with a decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) operating a first number of active filter-taps, a first data stream of the digital signal to yield a first equalized data stream; determining, at least in part based on the first number of active filter-taps and a pre-forward error correction (FEC) bit error rate of the first equalized data stream, a subsequent number of active filter-taps of the DFE, the subsequent number differing from the first number that yields a subsequent pre-FEC bit error rate differing from the pre-FEC bit error rate; equalizing, with the DFE operating with the subsequent number of active filter-taps, a subsequent data stream to yield a subsequent equalized data stream; and decoding the subsequent equalized data stream to yield a subsequent decoded data stream.
