Re: optical interconnects?

optical I/C is about replacing metal i/c to reduce skew, power and jitter. it is about fabrication microphotnic structure within chip using silicon materials.

currently, Intel R&D with Univeristy of Surrey has done a lot in this and it is likely to be success in near future from the results they got...
