Intel announces silicon photonics advancement towards optical I/O

Good news!

"Intel has demonstrated an eight-wavelength laser array on a silicon wafer. The research paves the way for the next generation of integrated silicon photonics products in the data center, such as switches with co-packaged optics and chiplets for optical interconnects. ...
More specifically, the laser uses a technology called dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) in order to send different, closely spaced wavelengths over the same optical link. This technique thus increases the bandwidth while also reducing the physical size of the photonic chips. ..."
