Micro-photonics parallel data transmission fabric and interconnect

A system comprising:

• a connector to house a plurality of optical waveguides;
• and
• a substrate having an array of at least one hundred (100) optical devices integrated on the substrate, wherein the array of optical devices is organized with multiple optical devices per pixel of a communication channel, the optical devices including transmit optical sources to convert electrical communication signals into optical signals to transmit on the plurality of optical waveguides, with the multiple optical devices of each pixel to transmit a combination of at least two different optical wavelengths to transmit a value of each pixel, and receive optical devices to receive input optical signals on the plurality of optical waveguides and convert the input optical signals into input electrical communication signals.
