    Abstract: Technologies for chip-to-chip optical data transfer are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, microLEDs on a first chip are used to send data to microphotodiodes on a second chip. The beams from the microLEDs may be sent to the microphotodiodes using an optical bridge, microprisms, a channel through a substrate, a channel defined in a substrate, etc. The microLEDs may be used for high-speed data transfer with low power usage. A chip may include a relatively large number of microLEDs and/or microphotodiodes, allowing for a large bandwidth connection. MicroLEDs and microphotodiodes may be used to connect different parts of the same chip, different chips on the same package, different packages on the same device, or different chips on different devices.
