Both optical CCD detectors and infrared detector arrays have steadily evolved over the past 5 years, and have reached very satisfactory levels of quantum efficiency and dark current. Optical CMOS detector arrays have rapidly improved and are beginning to compete with CCD detectors. A new development of great relevance for future instrumentation is the integration of the readout electronics into an integrated circuit in close proximity to the detector, or, in the future, its vertical integration with the detector array and multiplexer. This paper reviews the present status of these technologies and identifies opportunities and risks for the next decade.
