In addition, DustPhonics announced that it has completed an organizational realignment. The company says that it will now focus its resources on silicon photonics solutions and phase out its Transceivers product line. As part of this move, Ronnen Lovinger, president of DustPhotonics, has assumed the role of CEO. Ben Rubovitch, the company’s previous CEO, has stepped down and will lead the Business side of the company.
Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems which use silicon as an optical medium.
