SensL Technologies is the world’s leading developer and supplier of Silicon Photomultipliers (SPM) which are used to detect and measure light. SensL products have been utilised in many next generation applications including:

• Medical imaging PET/MRI scanners for detecting cancer, cardiac and Alzheimer’s
• Biomedical diagnostic equipment for healthcare
• 3D aerial imaging project developed with the European Space Agency
• Environmental monitoring project for 3D mapping of polar icecaps
• Small portable radiation detectors for hazard and threat detection

SensL Technologies products replace traditional vacuum tube based low light sensors with a solid state alternative which are more cost efficient, more reliable and provide dramatically improved system integration benefits. The small size of SensL’s technology also enables the development of new generations of sensing products that can utilise a single detector or an array of detectors.

SensL Technologies was founded in 2004 by Dr. Carl Jackson, a world renowned photonics expert and the company’s products are currently used by many of the world’s leading system companies and academic research laboratories.

Headquartered in Cork, with sales offices in Geneva and Boston, the company’s growth plans, facilitated by this investment of €1.5 million, will enable resource expansion to increase market share and continue product roadmap development. The company also plans to hire 25 new engineers, including 10 PhD graduates, over the next two years.
