Request for Information: Very Large-scale Photonic Integration (VLPI)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) seeks information on the feasibility, manufacturability and application space of Very Large-scale Photonic Integration (VLPI). DARPA is interested in disruptive ideas and concepts significantly beyond current practice. Approaches resulting in incremental improvement and mere description of existing capabilities or prior work without a clear vision for advancing the field are not of interest. Responses to this RFI may be used to inform future program development.
