Abstract: A night vision device enhancement wherein occurrence of a bright object in an input scene of the night vision device is precluded from adversely affecting reproduction of adjacent low radiance level portions of the input scene. By optically limiting or excluding bright object input scene portions from the night vision device input field the disclosed system precludes both image intensifier-related effects, effects such as blooming and current saturation, and also precludes automatic gain control-related effects such as full-field sensitivity decrease based on the bright object. Plural embodiments of the system are disclosed, embodiments based on bright object attenuation by both yet to be developed photo active materials such as photochromics and embodiments which use present state of the art liquid crystal materials and accompanying electronics. Military and non-military uses of the improved night vision device are contemplated.

Abstract: A monocular night vision apparatus employing an infrared energy spectrum source of illumination and a camera lens and night vision image intensifier combined receiver apparatus into a small hand-held portable package that is both low in cost and reliable in nature is described. The night vision transmitter apparatus includes a laser diode energy source that is coupled to an aperture controlled and focus controlled optical system and driven by an electronic closed-loop feedback energization circuit which employs self-contained battery sources of energy. Multiple operating modes and operating intensities of the light source are provided through a plurality of signal inputs to the closed feedback loop of the laser diode energy source. Disturbance of the closed feedback loop by reflected energy within the optical transmitter apparatus is precluded by the use of feedback prevention optical alignment in the transmitter's optical system.

Abstract: A method of measuring haze of an aircraft transparency includes producing a first reading representative of the level of light scattered by an area of a transparency under test while on the aircraft when it is illuminated by a known light source, and producing a second reading representative of the level of light scattered by a predetermined, preferably worst haze condition, reference plate when it is illuminated by the light source in place of the transparency. Then, a ratio of the first and second readings is calculated to provide a quantitative measure proportional to the degree of haze in the transparency test area.

Abstract: A novel vision tester and vision testing method is described which comprises a pair of translucent displays, each transilluminated by electroluminescent lighting panels, the images of the two patterns being superimposed to provide a combined image characterized by a pattern of variable contrast. Light sensors near each light panel provide a measure of the relative intensities of the two images, which provides a measure of the contrast of each combined image. Contrast may be directly read out by processing the signals from the light sensors. The tester may be battery powered for portability.
