DustPhotonics

DustPhotonics is a fabless silicon photonics company founded in Israel in 2017 by Ben Rubovitch, Kobi Hasharoni and Amir Geron, building Photonic Integrated Circuit (SiPho PIC) engines and optical interconnect components for hyperscale and AI data centers. Its product line covers integrated laser engines (Oz4, Oz8, Carmel4, Carmel8) and external laser chips (Kfir, Kfir200, Tamar, Tamar200) spanning 400G to 1.6T, built around a proprietary L3C low-loss laser coupling technique that integrates lasers, modulators and photodetectors onto a single chip for optical transceivers, active optical cables and near-package optics. Credo Technology Group agreed to acquire DustPhotonics in April 2026 and completed the acquisition on 28 May 2026; the dustphotonics.com site now redirects into credosemi.com. The company sells silicon and optical hardware to system and transceiver makers and has never operated a public developer program, API, SDK or documentation portal.

DustPhotonics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Silicon Photonics, Semiconductors, Optical Interconnect, and Photonic Integrated Circuits.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/dustphotonics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
