On February 21, according to a report from TechCrunch on February 19 (U.S. local time), Hyperlume, a company focused on Micro LED optical interconnect technology, has successfully completed a $12.5 million seed round funding. Intel Capital is among its investors.
Hyperlume‘s goal is to develop a low-cost optical interconnect technology for short-distance communication in AI computing clusters. This technology offers natural advantages in low latency and low power consumption compared to traditional copper interconnects, while also being more cost-effective than laser-based solutions.
The company ultimately selected ultra-fast Micro LED as the light source, coupled with highly efficient driver ASICs, enabling them to achieve performance close to traditional laser-based solutions, but at a lower cost.
Hyperlume claims that its pluggable active optical cable solution supports 1.6 Tbps of bandwidth, which can be extended to 3.2 Tbps, with a fixed 4ns latency and light flight time. The energy consumption per bit for transmission is just 1pJ, and it supports distances of up to 30 meters.
