This paper improves the performance of 60-GHz wireless optical system including radio over fibre (RoF) and radio over free space optics (RoFSO), based on novel reverse-parallel (RP) hybrid modulation scheme. This scheme combines the chromatic dispersion compensation technique of parallel modulation with energy efficiency manipulation technique of reverse modulation.Superior functioning of RoFSO is provided with reverse modulation compared with normal modulation. Comparative investigations are performed by loading 60-GHz RF signal with 2.5 and 10-Gbps data and modulating it with both reverse and hybrid modulators. Hybrid modulation performed better with improved BER of 10 −23 at distance of 51 km for 2.5-Gbps data compared with reverse modulation with BER of 10 −7 .
