In this paper an error correcting scheme for long-haul optical transmission systems based on the maximum
likelihood sequence detection-Viterbi algorithm and a hard decision "Gallager B" decoding algorithm for LDPC
codes is proposed. Numerical results for various LDPC codes are presented and it is shown that the proposed
method provides significant coding gain with respect to the uncoded system and Viterbi equalizer only.
