Lies.
Lasers are not a chip cooling devising, remote possibility that some data transfer or types of compute can be thermally cheaper using light but that's not the same as a laser cooling a fucking chip, its just it being more efficient.
If you thinking of laser cooling, that is a thing in some niche physics applications that have absolutely nothing to do with cooling a fucking computer chip you fucking brainlet.

Mostly I am interested in free space diffraction based computing for solving problems with many candidate inputs and few valid solutions. This silicon photonics stuff I would only be interested in using it conjoined with aforementioned types of things only to not have to domain switch between optical and electrical so much.
