Fabric.AI and Kopin publish white paper on MicroLED optical interconnects

Fabric.AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: FABC) and Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN) announced the publication of a jointly authored white paper examining MicroLED-based optical interconnect technology for AI data center infrastructure, according to a press release issued Aug. 3, 2026.

The white paper, titled "Optical Interconnects as a Critical Enabler for Next-Generation AI Infrastructure," outlines the technical principles behind the companies' jointly developed Neural I/o™ platform. The document compares copper, laser-based optical, and MicroLED optical interconnects, and describes how a massively parallel channel architecture could achieve sub-picojoule-per-bit energy efficiency.

The white paper references published industry roadmaps projecting aggregate link bandwidth of 20 Tb/s and beyond. The companies note that performance figures cited in the paper reflect third-party industry demonstrations and roadmaps and do not represent measured results from any Fabric.AI or Kopin product.

"The industry has spent decades making individual lanes faster, and that era is ending," said Michael Murray, Kopin's chief executive officer.

"Every conversation about AI infrastructure eventually arrives at the same bottleneck: moving data between chips," said Josh Silverman, Fabric.AI's chief executive officer. "We wrote this paper with Kopin to give investors, operators, and engineers a clear, honest framework for understanding why interconnects have become AI's primary bottleneck."

The white paper covers topics including bandwidth and power limitations of electrical interconnects, energy consumption comparisons between interconnect types, and bandwidth scaling through MicroLED emitter arrays without changes to data center cabling or topology.

Fabric.AI describes itself as a fabless semiconductor company. Kopin develops microdisplay and MicroLED technology for defense, enterprise, and consumer applications.
