1. An apparatus comprising:
a chip comprising a plurality of micro-emitters, the micro-emitters to couple to a plurality of data lines and to an optical fiber, wherein the micro-emitters are to generate optical signals for parallel transmission through the optical fiber, the optical signals corresponding to data communicated on the data lines;
a second chip coupled to the chip, the second chip comprising circuitry to generate the data communicated on the data lines;
a package substrate coupled to the chip and the second chip; and
a third chip coupled to the chip and the second chip, the third chip comprising circuitry to convert electrical signals on the data lines to electrical signals suitable to drive the micro-emitters.
