The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) beamline is composed of a powerful neutrino beam, monitored by a Near Detector (ND), and a Far Detector (FD). The accelerator and ND are hosted at Fermilab (IL) while the FD is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SD), at a distance of 1300km. The FD is being built 1500m underground with a modular design. The first two modules will adopt the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technology and each module will have 17 kton total mass of liquid argon. The main physics goals are the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy and a precision measurement of the CP-violating phase. In this paper, the Photon Detection System (PDS) will be described from the base module, XArapuca, up to the integration in the first two DUNE Far Detectors (FD1 and FD2).

Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) beamline is composed of a powerful neutrino beam, monitored by a Near Detector (ND), and a Far Detector (FD). The accelerator and ND are hosted at Fermilab (IL) while the FD is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SD), at a distance of 1300km. The FD is being built 1500m underground with a modular design. The first two modules will adopt the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technology and each module will have 17 kton total mass of liquid argon. The main physics goals are the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy and a precision measurement of the CP-violating phase. In this paper, the Photon Detection System (PDS) will be described from the base module, XArapuca, up to the integration in the first two DUNE Far Detectors (FD1 and FD2).
