US-based VCEL and Resonant Cavity LED developer InPHRED announced that it is expanding into the optical interconnects market, planning to utilize both of its technologies.
For micro-RC-LED optical I/O, InPHRED syas it is targeting an initial demonstration of a 200-lane array architecture with 0.3 numerical aperture on sapphire. The demonstration is expected to include initial proof metrics such as target coupling loss of below 3 dB and system energy efficiency of 4 pJ/bit.
