It Is a data center connectivity technology. It combines semi-conductor laser technology and the silicon integrated circuit to move data across data centers at really quick speeds. It is super cool and the video actually does a great job explaining what it is! See below for a little overview.

Intel Silicon Photonics:
In order to scale bandwidth and remove network infrastructure constraints, cloud service providers, like Facebook and Google, are looking for ways to achieve higher-speed connectivity in a power- and cost-effective way. Intel is already a leader in silicon photonics technology, which is a combination of two of the most important inventions of the 20th century—the silicon integrated circuit and the semiconductor laser. With this combination, we integrate light onto Intel’s silicon platform—utilizing the bandwidth and reach of optical connectivity on the scale and technology capability of silicon. Intel® Silicon Photonics can move data at lightning speed across these massive hyperscale data centers (in some cases, these datacenters span the size of eight football fields).
