Reverse-engineering a 1.6T DWDM photonic transceiver chip

A teardown of an Infinera photonic integrated circuit connects chip structures to dual-polarization 64QAM optical networking at 96 GBaud

should've bought some photonics stocks when I first saw this video.. anyway this is a photonic integrated circuit chip from a 1.6T DWDM transceiver module by Infinera (2 wavelengths x 2 polarizations (DP-64QAM) x 96 GBaud), and I'll make so
