Ronnen Lovinger, CEO of DustPhotonics.
DustPhotonics, an Israeli startup developing silicon photonics technology and solutions, completed a Series B follow-on round of $24 million. DustPhotonics develops and provides a technology platform for end-to-end Silicon Photonics solutions.
Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems which use silicon as an optical medium. Photonics is the physical science and application of light (photon) generation, detection, and manipulation through emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and sensing.
Photonics also includes research on photonic systems. This term is often used for optical communication systems. This area of research focuses on the implementation of photonic systems like high speed photonic networks.

The need for ever-increasing compute performance for Data Centers is driving innovation across the board in next-generation processors, GPUs, and all other key elements in a network. But these compute performance gains come with dramatic increases in power consumption, posing urgent challenges in terms of power efficiency and heat management.
Founded in 2017 with offices in Modi’in, Israel and Cupertino, California, DustPhotonics develops silicon photonics solutions for Cloud, data center, enterprise and HPC applications. Its products and technology, such as Laser integration into Silicon, are targeted at enabling the next generation of optical modules and connectivity.
“We are seeing a lot of design-win momentum with our products, and are excited by the new opportunities ahead in both AI and cloud service data centers,” said Ronnen Lovinger, CEO of DustPhotonics. “We are grateful to have a strong group of investors who have been supporting us from the early days, and are delighted to have new partners join our journey ahead.”
“Since undergoing the transition to a silicon photonics chip company from a transceiver company, I have seen the team at DustPhotonics do a tremendous job achieving their milestones on technology, products and business,” said Avigdor Willenz, Chairman of DustPhotonics. “I believe their upcoming innovations will allow them to further grow their position as a leader for next generation merchant silicon photonics products.”
