The Optical Detector Team is a multidisciplinary (electronics, software, cryogenics, detector physics, astronomy, etc.), multi-national (Australian, Danish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc.) department in ESO's   Instrumentation Division. We closely collaborate with our collegues at ESO's   La Silla   and   Paranal   observatories in Chile, the   other departments of the Instrumentation Division, the Technical Division (software and electronics), and, last but by no means least, external instrument consortia and industry. In addition, we regularly host visitors and temporary team members for various periods of time. In this cooperative network, we assume the beginning-to-end responsibility assigned to us for ESO's optical detector systems.

Please communicate to   odt@eso.org   or fax +49-89-32006530. Your request will be replied by the next working day at the latest.
