Kinda, I meant communications between different areas on the same die using
light - with all the memory, logic gates, clocking, etc also on the same
silicon die as the LEDs and photodiodes. What you linked to seems to be a
bit different in purpose and implementation - but maybe I have overlooked
something?

The article I linked to claims this to be the 'first demonstration' of said
thing. But, I am no expert.
