An integrated maximum a posteriori equalization and turbo product coding (IMAP-TPC) system for optical fiber communications systems (OFCS) is provided that uses probabilistic characterization of the electrical current in the presence of inter-symbol interference (ISI) and noise to compensate their effects and improve the bit error rate. In the IMAP-TPC system, turbo product code (TPC) decoding is integrated with a symbol-by-symbol maximum a posteriori (MAP) detector. The MAP detector calculates the log-likelihood ratio of a received symbol using the conditional electrical probability density information, and hence obtains a much more accurate reliability measure than the traditional measure used in the TPC decoder.
