In the 1980s and 1990s, the developments in sensitivity, size, and effective image quality of semiconductor detectors progressed faster and with lower cost than any equivalent increase in the geometrical light-collecting power of optical/infrared telescopes could have achieved. Now, in the era of Extra Large Telescopes, where light-collecting power is again increasing and ever more sophisticated space-borne instruments are in preparation, the growing maturity of detectors still forms an important cornerstone of these large investments. The recent workshop brought together many of the world's leading detector developers, producers and users, as well as astronomers, to exchange ideas, questions and solutions with the aim of enabling detector systems to optimally support the exciting astronomy projects of the future.
