  • Abstract
    A simple error-correcting code for optical-fibre transmission systems is proposed, and its correcting principle is explained. This code offers the same advantages as the CMI code, which is widely used in optical-fibre transmission systems. Moreover it has the ability to correct a single error in a block. Owing to this ability, the maximum repeater space can be increased.
