• It allows one to see in the dark.
• Originally developed for military use, has provided UNITED STATES with a strategic military advantage whose value can be measured in life's.
• Night vision equipment has evolved from bulky optical instruments in lightweight goggles through the advancement of image intensification technology.
• IMAGE ENHANCEMENT This works by collecting the tiny amounts of light, including the lower portion of the infrared light spectrum, that are present but may be imperceptible to our eyes, and amplifying it to the point that we can easily observe the image.
• THERMAL IMAGING This technology operates by capturing the upper portion of the infrared light spectrum, which is emitted as heat by objects instead of simply reflected as light. Hotter objects, such as warm bodies, emit more of this light than cooler objects like trees or buildings.
• Infrared light In order to understand night vision, it is important to understand something about light.
• The amount of energy in a light wave is related to its wavelength Shorter wavelengths have higher energy. Of visible light, violet has the most energy, and red has the least. Just next to the visible light spectrum is the infrared spectrum.
• Cryogenically cooled
• A conventional lens, called the objective lens, captures ambient light and
• some near- infrared light.
• The gathered light is sent to the image-intensifier tube. In most NVDs, the power
• supply for the image-intensifier tube receives power from two N-Cell or two
• "AA" batteries. The tube outputs a high voltage, about 5,000 volts, to the image-tube components.
• The image-intensifier tube has a photocathode, which is used to convert the
• photons of light energy into electrons.
• As the electrons pass through the tube, similar electrons are released from atoms
• in the tube, multiplying the original number of electrons by a factor of thousands
• through the use of a micro channel plate (MCP) in the tube. An MCP is a tiny
• glass disc that has millions of microscopic holes micro channels in it, made using
• fiber-optic technology.
• When the electrons from the photo cathode hit the first
• electrode of the MCP, they cause thousands of other
• electrons to be released in each channel using a process
• called cascaded secondary emission. Basically, the
• original electrons collide with the side of the channel,
• exciting atoms and causing other
• electrons to be released.
• An interesting fact is that the micro

'Night vision lenses' could give you power to see in the dark using simple eyeglasses

Super-slim night-vision tech could be within reach thanks to a new material breakthrough that can capture infrared and visible light at the same time.

One day we could have everyday eyewear with night vision, thanks to an ultra-thin material that can capture infrared and visible light at the same time.

In a new study published May 23 in Advanced Materials , researchers in Australia have found that by using "metasurface-based up-conversion technology", you can create a night vision effect without the need for bulky light-processing and cryogenic cooling components. 

"These results promise significant opportunities for the surveillance, autonomous navigation, and biological imaging industries, amongst others," chief investigator Dragomir Neshev from the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) said in a statement . "Decreasing the size, weight and power requirements of night vision technology is an example of how meta-optics, and the work TMOS is doing, is crucial to Industry 4.0 and the future extreme miniaturisation of technology."

Traditional night-vision goggles work by visible light or infrared photons passing through a lens into an electronic image-intensifier tube consisting of a photocathode and a microchannel plate. The photocathode turns the photons into electrons, and these electrons then hit the microchannel plate, which has millions of holes that amplify their number. The electrons then interact with a phosphor-coated screen and exhibit a green glow, illuminating the scene that the wearer is viewing. 

The researchers explained that this current setup poses challenges due to its large size for a head-mounted device, thermal noise and the inability to augment infrared and visible imaging.

However, by using an "ultra-compact, high-quality-factor lithium niobate resonant metasurface" — a very thin photonic device that can modulate the behavior of electromagnetic waves — the researchers boosted the energy of the infrared photons, increasing their frequency so as to bring their wavelengths within the visual spectrum.

Let there be visible light 

As the infrared photons only pass through a single resonant metasurface and are then mixed with a pump beam — a source of light used to amplify energy levels — night vision can be provided without the need to convert photons to electrons. This then bypasses the need for multiple heavy optical and cooling components to reduce thermal noise; the up-conversion from IR to visible light via the metasurface takes place at room temperature.

— Smart glasses could boost privacy by swapping cameras for this 100-year-old technology

— New display tech paves the way for 'most realistic' holograms in regular eyeglasses

— Scientists create light-based semiconductor chip that will pave the way for 6G

Furthermore, this up-conversion can capture both visible and nonvisible light in one image, which standard night-vision systems cannot as they must display images from each spectrum side-by-side. This leads to non-identical images. As such, the researchers found their approach offers direct imaging and edge detection via infrared simultaneously in a single view, enhancing the overall quality of a night-vision image. 

This breakthrough has opened the path to smaller, slimmer and more efficient night-vision systems for a variety of applications, the scientists said. We could even see the advent of night-vision glasses or filters that could be worn over eyeglasses to help people see at night. Uses could range from helping keep track of a dog during an evening walk to making driving at night safer.

Three-quarters of pedestrian deaths happen after dark. This technology can help change that.

By Kristin Shaw

Posted on Jul 7, 2024 1:03 PM EDT

3 minute read

Pedestrian deaths by car surged 19 percent from 2019 to 2022. And according to AAA , three-quarters of all pedestrian fatalities occur after dark. Automotive technology supplier Magna is actively trying to change that, with thermal technology installed on 1.2 million vehicles and counting.  

Originally named “Night Vision” and introduced on the 2005 BMW 7 Series, Magna’s thermal sensing product sees the road ahead up to four times farther than the typical headlight range. Currently available on 40 different vehicle models across 13 manufacturers like Bentley, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, and examples from Stellantis (Dodge, Fiat, Ram, Peugeot, Jeep, and more) and GM, this technology was created to reduce pedestrian and cyclist deaths.

This is how it works.

“Eyes” that see the road ahead with thermal sensing

A microbolometer, or an uncooled thermal sensor, started out as military technology in the late 1970s. The U.S. government declassified the technology after the 1991 Gulf War, and use of thermal imaging was introduced to municipal firefighting services to help firefighters see through smoke. Before that, first responders had to rely on the slow process of clearing each room individually by touch and visual cues. 

In the security world, thermal cameras are becoming even more popular. Airports use them for perimeter defense, and during the 2002-2004 SARS outbreak, airports used them to measure passenger temperatures. 

The latest generation of Magna’s technology offers improved road coverage, enhanced detection capabilities, and a sharper image for drivers through fog, smoke (a key factor for those impacted by wildfires), snow squalls, or in complete darkness. Since thermal cameras do not “see” visible light, this system isn’t affected by the headlights of oncoming vehicles or glare from the sun, Magna says. With distracted driving becoming more and more of a problem, automakers and tech companies like Magna are aggressively pursuing solutions.

“Even during the day, there are instances where smoke or fog could impair vision,” says Richard Seoane, Magna’s vice president of operations and business development in the thermal product area. “Divers heading into smoke might think it’s just a short distance to find it’s a mile long; this was the case in California two years ago, when fog caused a 90-car pileup .”

How Magna works

An infrared video camera is mounted in front of the vehicle that senses temperature differences of less than 1/10th of a degree to create a highly detailed thermal image of the roadway scene. Using convolutional neural networks, the software creates three-dimensional data for image classification and object recognition tasks. 

In turn, the algorithm is trained to be able to classify these objects within the field of the image, including pedestrians, buses, motorbikes and more. Seaone says the system predicts the vector of travel, which helps the driver in numerous ways . For example, pedestrians don’t move fast, but animals and bikes do. Knowing that information helps driver-assist programs adapt and adjust to avoid a crash. 

“Our algorithms detect animals, pedestrians, and cyclists more than 100 meters ahead of the vehicle to alert drivers of such hazards,” Seoane says. He explains that the algorithms can run in a car’s dedicated ECU (electronic control module) or be hosted by a manufacturer’s central computer unit.

While human eyes can’t register the infrared spectrum, thermal sensing systems can. By detecting very small temperature differences, the technology can differentiate between a mailbox, a deer, or a human, Magna says . 

Earlier versions of thermal sensing systems were too large to fit in a trunk. Today, Magna’s camera is quite small–about the size of a golf ball–and it’s about to get even smaller. The company’s next-gen thermal sensing technology is targeted to debut next year, and it will also include increased visual range to 360 degrees. What that means is better visibility all the way around even in the dark, which addresses back-over accidents that occur primarily with children or small pets. It’s also slated to detect information up to three football fields, which increases stopping time, and potentially saves more lives.

ITT-- Night Vision Technology Kam Ng and Scott Nelson 25 November 2008

Night Vision Goggle Technology • Night vision technology helps people to see better in the dark and hence maneuver and fight effectively at night. • On 27 March 2007, ITT Corporation pleaded guilty on arms export violation to People’s Republic of China, United Kingdom, and Singapore, and fined $100M.1 Reference 1: Statement of U.S. Attorney, DOJ, 27 March 2007

Legislation—Development & Summary • Trade Issues: Export Control & National Security • Production Act of 1950 was amended, and replaced by Foreign Investment and National Security Act (FINSA) of 2007 on 4 January 2007 • New provisions of FINSA include: security improvement amendments, review & investigation process, monitoring & enforcement, action by the President, increased oversight by Congress, certification process, and regulations2 Reference 2: H.R. 556, Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007

FINSA (2007) • Some of the key changes from the Defense Production Act of 1950 include: • National Security is now defined as to include issues related to Homeland Security • Critical technologies is defined as items essential to national defense

Key Provisions of FINSA: National Security • Investigations will be conducted immediately if: • Transaction threatens U.S. National Security and the threat has not been mitigated • The transaction is a foreign government transaction

Legislation- Related Regulations • Ensure national security while promoting foreign investment and open trade • Export control and enforcement • Arms Export Control Act (AECA) of 1976, 22 U.S.C 2778--President is authorized to control import and export of defense articles and services • International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) of 1999, CFR Title 26--Department of State regulates defense technologies via U.S. Munitions List3 • Export Administration Regulations (EAR)--Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry & Security regulates export “dual-use” items4 via license

ITT Night Vision Case • ITT Corp Night Vision Division violated arms export regulation. Specifically, ITT illegally sent classified and export controlled information to foreign countries--People’s Republic China (PRC). • ITT disclosed classified technical information on night vision counter measure known as “light interference filter” to prohibited countries & facilities.4 • Other countries involved– United Kingdom, Singapore, and Japan as middle-men. Reference 4: Statement of U.S. Attorney, DOJ, 27 March 2007

ITT Night Vision Case • Motivation--outsourcing of manufacturing of night vision goggles to PRC to reduce its costs & enhance its profit • Violations--Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C 2778)5, International Traffic in Arms Regulation (22 CFR 127.7),5 and provided false & misleading information during investigations • ITT new CEO, Mr. Loranger ordered internal investigation and fully cooperated with government investigations 11 Reference 5: ITT Corporation, Federal Register, 11 April 2007

ITT Night Vision Case • March 2001 and August 2001 • ITT export defense-related technology to countries without a license or written authorization from the U.S. Department of State • Night vision goggles are on the U.S. Munitions List; require a license or authorization before export6 Reference 6: Consulate General of the United States, March 27, 2007

ITT Night Case • April 2000 and October 2004 • ITT excluded facts from the Arms Exports Required Reports • Reports were misleading • Was company aware of missing information? Yes.6 Reference 6: Consulate General of the United States, March 27, 2007

Parties Involved • Department of Justice • Filed charges against ITT Corporation • DOJ filed charges due to Export Violations of night vision data • The position of the DOJ in filing these charges: “The sensitive night vision technology…is sought by our enemies and our allies alike.” • The technology must be protected Reference 6: Consulate General of the United States, March 27, 2007

Parties Involved • US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Defense Criminal Investigative Services (DCIS) • Were the investigators in the case against the ITT Corporation • The ICE position in the case: “These violations among the most serious of crimes.” • The DCIS position: “American security and its critical military technology are not for sale.” Reference 6: Consulate General of the United States, March 27, 2007

ITT Case Settlement • ITT paid $100M in fines & penalties ($20M to Department of State, $2M as statutory fine, $28M to law enforcement agencies, $50M for R&D as restitution to American soldiers) • ITT pays for an independent monitor and staff in compliance with the agreement & federal law

Foreign Trade Policy Issues • National security (export control) versus open trade & economic/technology development • Regulation & enforcement involved several agencies, Department of State, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security • Determination of military critical technologies

The Critical Foreign Trade Issue • Exportation of sensitive technology without a license or written authorization by the U.S. Department of State • “jeopardizes our national security and the safety of our military men and women on the battlefield.” – Asst. Attorney General Kenneth Weinstein, DOJ. • Illegal exporting of sensitive technology and data “threatens our national security in the most direct way.” – Daniel F. Wilkins, Acting Director of the NCIS Reference 6: Consulate General of the United States, March 27, 2007

Critical Issues: The Consequences • Compromise and disclosure of U.S. military critical technologies to adversaries • Information and technology could help terrorists to launch an attack and/or counter attack Bottom Line: U.S. might lose it’s military superiority & capabilities

Policy Proposal • The regulations on arms export must be strongly enforced • The military critical technologies should be tightly safeguarded • The National Security Policy would negatively impact the global free trade and technology transfer

Policy Proposal • The regulations on arms export must be strongly enforced • If companies such as ITT are allowed to violate U.S. trade policy and FINSA, our technology could enter the wrong hands • Example: U.S. equipment found in photos of an Iranian nuclear facility

Policy Proposal • The military critical technologies should be tightly safeguarded • Violations of FINSA and U.S. Trade policy can put our own citizens in danger at home and abroad • This can make the government take protectionist measures with both foes and allies • It could harm trade relations and cause tariffs and other sanctions to take place • These sanctions could cause increases in cost for creation and innovation of critical technologies

Policy Proposal • Ultimately, the National Security Policy would negatively impact the global trade and technology transfer • The protectionist measures could spill into international economics in other sectors • International relations with allies could become strained due to lack of trust for security purposes

Pro and Con of Policy Proposal • National security versus free trade & economic/technology development • Adam Smith: “defense is more important than opulence.”7 • Willett & Jalalighajar: “trade restrictions implemented in the name of national security is the result of protectionist pressures and unwise foreign policy strategies.”8 Reference 7: Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1937, p.431 Reference 8: Tomas Willett and Mehrdad Jalalighajar, “U.S. Trade policy and National Security,” CATO Journal, 1983, p. 717-727
