Avicena is developing ultra-fast LEDs for low power chip-to-chip connections.  Unlike conventional lasers that run at mA-type currents, and whose threshold changes with temperature, or larger high-speed LEDs for LiFi that run at 10’s of mAs, the Avicena LEDs, or CROMEs (Cavity Reinforced Optical MicroEmitters) are optimized for low power and  high-speed.  At the exhibition Avicena will show CROMEs modulating at Gb/s rates with drive currents down to a few microAmps, and also show excellent transmit characteristics up to 10Gb/s..
