OFC 2024: Avicena debuts scalable Sub-pJ/bit chiplet
Optical Connections — Avicena has debuted its scalable LightBundle chiplet interconnect, which extends ultra-high density die-to-die (D2D) connections up to 10m at multi-Tbps/mm shoreline bandwidth density and sub-pJ/bit energy efficiency. Based on Avicena’s LightBundle platform which supports shoreline density and energy efficiency, it unlocks increased performance from HPC and AI cluster architectures.
GAZETTABYTE
Using LED-based Parallelism for Fast Optical Interconnects
Avicena has demonstrated what it claims is the world’s smallest one terabit optical transceiver. And the company will reveal more about how it is advancing its optical technology for volume production at the upcoming OFC event in San Diego in March.
The interface technology uses compact light emitting diodes (LED). The interface uses an array of these microLEDs that emit light vertically into a bundle of multimode optical fibres.
