Abstract
A system enables optical communication with direct conversion of the electrical signal into an optical signal with an array of optical sources. The use of the array of optical sources can eliminate the need for a large serializer/deserializer (SERDES). With an array of optical sources, the optical communication can occur at lower power and lower frequency per optical source, with multiple parallel optical sources combining to provide a signal.

1-20. (canceled)
A system, comprising:
- an array of micro-LEDs (light emitting diodes), stacked with respect to a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) circuit;
- an array of photodetectors, stacked with respect to the CMOS circuit;
- and
- a multicore fiber coupled to the array of micro-LEDs via at least one lens, configuration of the system such that there are multiple fiber cores of the multicore fiber per individual, respective, ones of the micro-LEDs.
