Enrico Marchetti graduated in Astronomy in 1993 and obtained the PhD in Space Science and Instrumentation at the University of Padova (Italy) in 1997. His fields of interest are high angular resolution for astronomical applications, in the specific the Adaptive Optics, and optical design. He worked at the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (Canary Islands, Spain) to develop and commission the telescope's adaptive optics system. He's also author of several key papers on Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) theory and demonstration, a technique allowing to extend the limited field of view correction of classical systems. Since 2000 he's working at ESO as Adaptive Optics specialist and he has been the project responsible for the MCAO Demonstrator (MAD) which had the successful first light on sky at the ESO's Very large Telescope on 2007. Enrico Marchetti he's now involved in the studies of the Adaptive Optics modules of the ESO's Extremely Large Telescope.

The development of the ESO’s ALICE and LISA wavefront sensor cameras is approaching its conclusion.
The cameras will serve the ELT and VLT telescopes and their instrumentation for a variety of wavefront sensing applications: they are built around a common set of components with the only difference being the customizable frontends to support the different type of detector and they have been designed to be fully embedded in the ELT network and control infrastructure.
In this paper we will present a quick overview of the design and the performance of the two cameras as a results of the final review of the compliance to their respective set of requirements and interfaces.
This paper provides an overall summary of the AO WFS Detector requirements of the E-ELT instruments currently in design and telescope focal units. This is followed by a description of the many interesting detector, controller, and camera developments underway at ESO to meet these needs; a) the rationale behind and plan to upgrade the 240x240 pixels, 2000fps, “zero noise”, L3Vision CCD220 sensor based AONGC camera; b) status of the LGSD/NGSD High QE, 3e- RoN, fast 700fps, 1760x1680 pixels, Visible CMOS Imager and camera development; c) status of and development plans for the Selex SAPHIRA NIR eAPD and controller.
Most of the instruments and detector/camera developments are described in more detail in other papers at this conference.
