Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for photonic communication and photonic addressing are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a plurality of photonic sources, a plurality of memory die, a logic die. Each of the plurality of photonic sources provides a photonic signal of a different wavelength and are provided to a first photonic path. Each memory die of the plurality of memory die includes a photonic modulation circuit coupled to the first photonic path, and further includes a photonic detector circuit coupled to a second photonic path. Each memory die of the plurality of memory die is associated with and addressed by a respective wavelength of a photonic signal. The logic die is coupled to the first and second photonic paths, and includes a plurality of photonic circuits. Each of the photonic circuits of the plurality of photonic circuits is associated with a respective wavelength of a photonic signal.
