Direct detection of extra-solar planets in the next few years will allow scientists to learn more about planets' composition, temperature, atmospheric structure, and formation processes. Such detections require extremely high contrast and demand very precise instrumentation. Once the wavefront coming from a nearby star has been corrected by an extreme adaptive-optics system and has gone through a coronagraph, planet detection is limited by speckle noise. A science camera is then required to suppress a significant amount of this noise, identify the planet, and characterize it. The work that has been done in two concepts of science camera for the Extreme Adaptive Optics Coronagraph (EXAOC) conceptual design for Gemini will be presented.
