微光夜视技术发展动态评述

A Review of the Development of Low-light Night Vision Technology

微光夜视技术是现代化武器夜视装备的支撑技术之一,掌握先进的微光夜视技术对于掌控以夜间战争为特点的现代化战争局势至关重要。近年来,美国等发达国家不断地发展更为先进的微光技术和装备,并取得了重要进展。介绍了微光夜视器件及系统的发展现状和最新技术进展,分析了几项新技术产品的技术特点和应用方向,表明了微光器件向性能提高及光谱响应范围扩展技术方向、微光系统向信息融合及多功能集成技术方向发展的趋势。

Image intensifier technology is one of the supporting technologies for modem night-vision equipments. Owning this technology is the key for the night battle victory. In recent years, the more advanced technologies of both image intensifier devices and systems have been developed in the U.S and other developed countries, and many progresses have been achieved as well. The state-of-the-art technologies in this field and several important progresses achieved are reviewed, technical characteristics and applications of the new products are analyzed in this paper. The results prove that image intensifiers are developing toward higher performance and widened range of response spectrum, the low-light night vision systems are developing toward information fusion and the integration of multifunction.
