Avicena Tech

Blown away by the the significant advancements the Avicena Tech engineering and operations teams are making on delivering terabit-class microLED interconnect technology for scale-up and scale-in AI infrastructure. Our LightBundle eKits are now delivering up to 1Tbps of bandwidth links across 335 microLED channels powered by our ASIC-based optical engine. I wish I could record and share the reactions of our customers, partners and investors when they see the eKits operating at their sites and in our labs. Please reach out if you're working to tackle the copper wall and looking for the optimal optical technology that advances your AI scale-up and scale-in infrastructure.

During SID's Display Week 2026, we hosted a panel on Optical Data Interconnect, it was well received, standing room only, thanks to Nag Patibandla, Xi Wang, Ioannis (John) Kymissis, Nigel Alvares. #SID #DisplayWeek

⚡Takeaways from OFC 2026: Momentum for Photonics & AI Infrastructure: Great energy at OFC 2026, where it’s clear the optical ecosystem is evolving quickly, but with strong signals for disciplined, high‑impact innovation. From an investor lens, a few themes stood out: 🔎 Copper’s reliability continues to shape realistic adoption timelines for optical scale‑up. 🔎 Proving reliability while delivering superior energy efficiency remains the biggest hurdle for optical interconnects in AI systems. Hyperscalers are demanding zero‑flap performance and serviceability. 🔎 Diverse photonics approaches are in play for scale-up and scale-out solutions, with room for multiple winners. Lam Capital Portfolio Highlights: we are proud of how our companies showed up this year: 👉 Avicena Tech introduced the world’s first microLED Optical Interconnect Evaluation Kit at OFC, enabling AI infrastructure innovators to explore ultra‑low‑latency, high‑bandwidth microLED‑based links. 👉 OpenLight showcased major technology milestones at OFC, including 400G‑per‑lane EA modulators for 3.2T+ architectures and a fully integrated 1.6T DR8 transceiver PIC with an evaluation platform. #OFC2026

New Ep: MicroLEDs Ain’t Dead, Micron Snags Vera Rubin Many thoughts in this episode! Vikram Sekar and I envision how tokens will be deployed to future engineers. Micron Technology has HBM4 content in Vera Rubin after all. More HBM the better. MicroLEDs as the HBM of optics? Wide and Slow could be perfect for scale-up.
