I saw Eggleton's presentation on this new chip at the symposium for the opening of the University of Auckland's Photonic's Center in 2006 at the Physics Department. Eggleton stated that Intel is part of a number of multinational corporations that fund this research, and his group at CUDOS collaborates with other groups from around the world. The advantage of photonic chip over semi-conductor based chip is that photonic technology doesn't suffer the high power consumption (& slowness of transmission) of semi-conductor. Photonic devices use light to carry the signal where the signal runs unhindered (ie, less friction - lead to faster transmission) thru the photonic waveguide material while semiconductor chip uses electrons (electrical current) to carry/process the signal which suffers resistance, therefore hinders the transmission speed. Prof. Eggleton said, that this new generation of chip is still a few years away, but researches are moving faster than they thought.
