Zipper codes are a framework for describing spatially-coupled product-like codes. Many well-
known codes, such as staircase codes and braided block codes, are subsumed into this …

Zipper codes, a new framework for describing spatially-coupled product-like codes, are
introduced. This framework encompasses many types of codes such as staircase codes and …

Staircase codes play an important role as error-correcting codes in optical communications.
In this paper, a low-complexity method for resolving stall patterns when decoding staircase …

We generalize staircase codes and tiled diagonal zipper codes, preserving their key
properties while allowing each coded symbol to be protected by arbitrarily many component …

Zipper codes with irregular variable degree are studied. Two new interleaver maps-chevron
and half-chevron-are described. Simulation results with shortened double-error-correcting …

Staircase codes, a new class of forward-error-correction (FEC) codes suitable for high-
speed optical communications, are introduced. An ITU-T G. 709-compatible staircase code …

We design staircase codes with overheads between 6.25% and 33.3% for high-speed
optical transport networks. Using a reduced-complexity simulation of staircase coded …

This paper discusses the possibilities of using certain constant‐weight block codes in optical
data links and in optical ring networks. The codes that appear to be particulary attractive …

Product codes (PCs) and staircase codes (SCCs) are conventionally decoded based on
bounded distance decoding (BDD) of the component codes and iterating between row and …

A novel family of optical line codes to counteract the effects of a dispersive fiber is presented.
The performance of the first code in the family, referred to as order-1 code, is analytically …
