Optical-interconnect developer Avicena plans to demonstrate a connectorized microLED optical interconnect, combining laser-free transceivers with a detachable optical interface.

Avicena announced a planned demonstration at ECOC 2026, the European Conference on Optical Communication. The implementation is called LightBundle eKit and combines high-density micro-light-emitting-diode, or microLED, transceiver technology with an inline detachable optical interface.

The company describes the transceivers as laser-free. Its announcement focuses on making optical connectivity practical to assemble, test, service and upgrade in next-generation AI systems, rather than reporting a new GPU or server platform.

Avicena calls the implementation the industry’s first connectorized microLED optical interconnect; that is the company’s claim in the supplied announcement. The excerpt provides no bandwidth, power-per-bit, reach, shipping volume or customer-deployment measurements. The disclosed stage is a forthcoming demonstration, not confirmed volume availability.
