LAPPD

LAPPD

Large Area Picosecond Photodetector

Enabling the vision of tomorrow through experimental scientific discovery.

Incom’s LAPPD is the world’s largest and fastest MCP based photodetector. With picosecond level timing, high spatial resolution and the industry’s lowest dark counts, no detector is more capable of imaging with single photon sensitivity. Our LAPPD was developed in partnership with the Department of Energy, Argonne National Labs, and the University of Chicago to explore the elementary constituents of matter and energy, the interactions between them, and the nature of space and time. After nearly ten years of development, Incom is proud to bring this revolutionary technology to market.
