Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 3:
4. A method of providing inverse-multiplexed optical data transmission, comprising:
demultiplexing each of a plurality of serial input electrical data signals for transmission to form a plurality of parallel input electrical data signals, with corresponding parallel input electrical data signals for each of the serial input data signals;
driving microLEDs of an array of microLEDs to emit light based on the parallel input electrical data signals;
passing the light through cores of a multicore fiber, with light from different microLEDs passing through different cores of the multicore fiber;
forming parallel output electrical data signals by an array of photodetectors receiving the light passed through the cores of the multicore fiber; and
multiplexing the parallel output electrical data signals to form serial output electrical data signals further comprising driving at least one microLED of the array of microLEDs with an input electrical clock signal, passing light emitted by the at least one microLED driven by the input electrical clock signal through at least one core of the multicore fiber, and forming an output electrical clock signal by at least one photodetector of the array of photodetectors.
