It’s a photonic integrated circuit. It doesn’t follow Moore law. Light is used for the computation not electron.
The field has seen major development in the last two decades. It’s extremely promising for fibre-optic communication.

I don’t know if anyone was saying “the entire internet” out loud but maybe someone was dreaming it.
