Avicena Demonstrates Record-Breaking Ultra-Low-Energy Optical Interconnect
Stand 464
26th May 2022

Avicena Tech Corp, a privately held company in Mountain View, CA, will demonstrate its LightBundle™ multi-Tbps chip-to-chip interconnect at the European Conference for Optical Communications 2022. We have already demonstrated a link with less than 2pJ/bit using and will soon unveil sub-1pJ/bit links. LightBundle™ is based on arrays of innovative GaN micro-emitters that leverage the microLED display ecosystem and can be integrated into high performance CMOS ICs. The parallel nature of LightBundle™ is well matched to parallel chiplet interfaces like UCIe, OpenHBI, and BoW, and can also be used to extend the reach of compute interconnects like PCIe/CXL, or HBM/DDR/GDDR memory links.
