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.

  note: 'Re-run of a pass completed the same day. Every prior finding was independently re-probed and held. This round added
    no new artifact and no new pointer: package registries (npm, PyPI, RubyGems, crates.io) all missed, the GitHub org listing
    confirmed zero public repositories, probe-security-programs.py found no vulnerability-disclosure program and no trust
    center, and repair-api-bases.py reports no base to repair because apis[] is legitimately empty. The evidence was appended
    to well-known/dustphotonics-well-known.yml.'
x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: defunct
  detail: Every page on www.dustphotonics.com 301s wholesale into credosemi.com after Credo completed its acquisition on 2026-05-28,
    and the underlying business is a fabless silicon photonics chip maker that never shipped an API, SDK or developer portal
    — the only document still answering from the original origin is an orphaned Yoast SEO llms.txt whose own links all 301
    away to the acquirer.
