Photonically enabled data centre systems

Global Investment in Integrated Photonics European Union FP7 and H2020 Photonics R&D programmes >$500 million spent over last 10 years in PIC technologies >$200 million more by 2020

United States of America Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Institute The US government has set up its latest manufacturing initiative, the sixth of nine, to address integrated photonics. The $610 million venture is a combination of public and private funding: $110 million from the Department of Defense, $250 million from the state of New York and the rest private contributions.
