The MEG experiment searches for the lepton-flavor violating muon decay, mu --> e gamma, by using the world's most intense DC muon beam provided at PSI in Switzerland. The collaboration successfully completed its 1st stage and now the detector upgrade is in progress to improve the sensitivity by one order of magnitude as MEG II. The liquid xenon photon detector has been playing an important role in the experiment to identify and measure precisely the gamma ray. Details of the detector design, construction, and operation will be explained in this presentation.
