Conventional thinking holds that Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are too slow for communication links, right? What are microLEDs? Is it possible for microLEDs on a chip to scale to terabit speeds? Avicena, a start-up in Silicon Valley, is providing the effectiveness of this approach.
Bardia Pezeshki, CEO from Avicena explains:
– LEDs on silicon chips can modulate at high speeds, up to 10-14 Gbits per second per LED
– LED-based optical chiplets can be packaged with GPUs or CPUs for efficient data transmission
– LEDs offer advantages over lasers in cost, complexity, and reliability for short-distance (up to 10 meters) data transfer
