Large capacity optical wireless signal delivery at W-band: OFDM or single carrier?

We experimentally compare OFDM and Single-carrier modulation in a large-capacity optical-wireless signal delivery system at W-band. We conclude that OFDM is more suitable in a scenario of relatively short wireless distance and limited receiver bandwidth.
