Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for a night vision system including a transparent overlay display that transmit direct-view light representing an intensified image and emits display light representing a display image. To reduce the communication bandwidth with an external controller, a frame buffer is provided to locally update pixel values of the display image, at a first frame rate. Because many pixel values remain unchanged from frame to frame, an external controller may change the pixel values stored in the frame buffer as needed, reducing the amount of information that is needed from the external controller to control the display image. Additionally, to reduce the communication bandwidth the display information may be communicated from the external controller using a high-level language. Further, some of the display information may be determined using a local processor, rather than relying on the external controller for the display information.

Abstract: One example illustrated herein includes an optical device including a bridge assembly configured to connect two or more monocular tube assemblies and at least two monocular tube assemblies. Each monocular tube assembly includes a housing, an alignment member attached to the housing, the alignment member providing an indication of an optical axis of the monocular tube assembly, and an interface component that links the housing to the bridge assembly, the interface component comprising an adjustment mechanism that enables adjustment of the monocular tube assembly relative to the bridge assembly, such that the adjustment mechanism can be used in conjunction with the alignment member to align different optical axes. Aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented to allow for field-alignment of the optical device.

Abstract: A night vision optical device includes an underlying device configured to be sensitive to light in a first spectrum, and to provide output light based on absorbing light in the first spectrum. The night vision optical device further includes a stacked device overlapping the underlying device. The stacked device includes one or more openings formed in the underlying device to form one or more transparent regions which are transparent to the light in the first spectrum to allow light in the first spectrum to pass through to the underlying device. The stacked device is sensitive to light in a second spectrum. The stacked device outputs light in the first spectrum to the underlying device as a result of absorbing light in the second spectrum. Thus, the underlying device outputs light based both on light passing through the transparent regions and on light output by the stacked device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for a night vision system that integrates functions of detecting an intensified image and transmitting the intensified image superimposed with a heads-up display. The night vision system includes an optical device having a transparent display configured with pixels emitting display light (i.e., the heads-up display), and the transparent display has transmission regions arranged among the pixels for transmitting light representing an intensified image (e.g., luminescent light from a phosphor screen). Light rays passing through the transmission regions also pass through detectors, which detect light outside of the visible spectrum (e.g., UV light). By detecting light outside of the visible spectrum, the detectors detect the intensified image without degrading the image in the visible spectrum that is provided to users.
