The Light Peak of Intel technology has advanced as they are fiber-based connections, but allow silicon photonics fiber optic connections can be deployed inside the chips themselves.

The company stands as co-founder of a research center at the University of Washington, which hopes will lead to advances in the field of silicon photonics. The agreement, reached during this week, highlights the role of the company to finance the project known as Systems on Silicon Optoelectronics (opsis), which is under research at the Service Center at the University of Southern California.

The program, known as OPSIS (Silicon Integrated Systems Optoelectronics), offer the possibility of applying technology in the silicon wafer itself, in order to apply it as a solution for interconnection between the various parties that currently make a processor. The Intel computer labs has been researching in this field more than a decade, with a clear view of the possibility of creating silicon chips that can transmit billions of bits per second over optical fiber. The progress in development of silicon integrated circuits has allowed in recent years has become part of the hardware of many devices beyond computers, mobile devices, displays, or sensors of any kind. The team of engineers from Intel believes that silicon photonics will have a major impact on many more areas never before imagined, and beyond high-speed communications, such as wireless devices, or biomedical solutions. OPSIS is based in part in MOSIS (Metal semiconductor implementation).

In addition to the announced funding from Intel include the provision of information and experience they are giving different groups of Intel Labs to help move quickly to investigate this field, as well as everything related to the Peak Light technology.
