An integrated circuit interposer includes a semiconductor substrate layer; a first metal contact layer including a first metal contact section that includes metal contacts arranged for electrically coupling to a first semiconductor die in a controlled collapsed chip connection, and a second metal contact section that includes metal contacts arranged for electrically coupling to a second semiconductor die in a controlled collapsed chip connection. A first patterned layer includes individually photomask patterned metal path sections. A second patterned layer includes individually photomask patterned waveguide sections, including a first waveguide that crosses at least one boundary between individually photomask patterned waveguide sections. A first modulator is coupled to the first waveguide for modulating an optical wave in the first waveguide based on an electrical signal received at a first metal contact in the first metal contact section, and a second modulator is coupled to the first waveguide for modulating the optical wave based on an electrical signal received at a second metal contact in the first metal contact section or the second metal contact section
