Micro Photon Devices GmbH

Micro Photon Devices s.r.l.

Micro Photon Devices s.r.l. (MPD) is a dynamic production and engineering company based in Bolzano. MPD was founded in 2004 with the goal of leading the forefront research activities in single-photon counting and picosecond timing of single photons. MPD currently produces and commercialises advanced single-photon counting modules with unmatched photon-timing capabilities and overall performance. Silicon SPADs enable high detector performance, miniaturization, low power consumption, and integrated system development, while SPADs in compound semiconductors extend photon counting applications to the near infrared spectral range up to the optical fiber wavelengths.

Since 2022, MPD has also operated an R&D office near Milan.

In addition to its products range, Micro Photon Devices is also available to develop custom designs for specific applications related to photon counting detection technology, taking advantage of its own expertise covering the whole engineering and production flow, including prototyping, components procurement, system integration, testing and shipping.
