  1. You need a wavelength that silicon is transparent. This limits your light to infrared

  2. The problem is not propagation the problem is keeping the signal to noise ratio so that it is still possible to recover the signal in the other end.

  3. If you include organic compound then carbon will win but if you limit the scope to inorganic crystals then silicon wins.
