Intel uses hybrid laser, thats the key advantage of POET's one/single chip module which is cheaper due to saving in package costs.imo

Other ways of delivering data often require optical technology, which is harder to manufacture and costs more than silicon-based products, said Jason Waxman, corporate vice president for the cloud computing group at Intel, in an interview with VentureBeat. The silicon photonics product uses a hybrid laser.
