Disaggregated memory structures on a directly modulated photonic wafer-scale interposer

An apparatus for transmitting data comprising:

• a plurality of circuits;
• a plurality of memory devices;
• a plurality of surface-emitting light sources;
• a photonic wafer-scale interposer (PWSI), wherein the PWSI includes a plurality of waveguides and wherein the plurality of circuits, the plurality of memory devices, and the plurality of surface-emitting light sources are bonded to a front side of the PWSI;
• and
• a memory fabric, wherein the memory fabric groups one or more memory devices within the plurality of memory devices, wherein the grouping results in a disaggregated memory structure.
