Dust Photonics debuted its Carmel-8 product at 2023's European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC). As the company aims to advance its merchant 800 Gb/s silicon photonics chip, it also plans to use funds from the current B round to accelerate development of its next generations of products which will enable 1.6Tb/s, according to the company.
The round was funded by a combination of new and existing investors including Sienna Venture Capital, Greenfield Partners, Atreides Management, and Exor Ventures.
