Silicon photonics buildout: optical interconnect winners as AI networking scales

The post praises DustPhotonics and highlights photonic ICs and engines as foundational to silicon photonics and optical pluggables. The cleanest investable angle is the accelerating demand for optical interconnect, coherent/datacenter optics, and silicon photonics components driven by AI cluster scaling and bandwidth bottlenecks. Since DustPhotonics itself is not publicly listed, the portfolio uses active US-listed companies most directly exposed to optical components, datacenter interconnects, and silicon photonics system integration.
