description: >-
  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.

  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.

  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.
