50G PON FEC Evaluation with Error Models for Advanced Equalization

Post-equalization bit-errors from ISI-impaired 50G PON transmission experiments are modeled using Fritchman's Markov chain. LDPC FEC evaluation with this error model reveals a 0.3–0.6 dB optical power penalty for equalizing ISI including 83 ps/nm dispersion.
