    Abstract: A night vision system for a vehicle includes a pulsed light source for illuminating a region proximate the vehicle and a secondary trigger light source operating at a predetermined pulse timing and second wavelength. A light sensor detects light at the second wavelength. The trigger light pulses are used to indicate the pulse timing of each respective vehicle's primary NIR light source. Upon detecting another vehicle's trigger light source, the controller adjusts the pulse phase of the first light source to be exactly out-of-phase with that of the oncoming vehicle since the pulsed timing of the oncoming vehicle's NIR light source is known upon detection of the opposing vehicle's trigger light source. Each vehicle can then adjust its primary light source to be out-of-phase with the other vehicle and, hence, non-interfering.

    Abstract: An electrically powered image intensifier having an output and an input is optically coupled to the lens to receive the focused light image from the lens and provide at the output of the image intensifier an intensified light image. A chassis is configured to support the intensifier and to mainly engage the lens by engaging the mounting structure. The lens is engaged by the mounting structure in a use position. A power source is coupled to the image intensifier by an electrical switch having an open and a closed state. The switch is connected to couple electrical power from the power source to the image intensifier in the closed state and to decouple electrical power from the power source from the image intensifier in the open state. The electrical switch comprises an operator for configuring the electrical switch in the open state in an open operator position or in a closed state in a closed operator position. The operator is biased in the open operator position. The operator is urged in the use position into the closed operator position by the mounting structure.

    Abstract: An infrared radiation detecting device is constructed using a manufacturing method to increase the infrared radiation absorptance of the infrared radiation absorbing film. The infrared radiation detecting device has an infrared radiation absorbing film. In one embodiment, the infrared radiation absorbing film has a varying film thickness. The film thickness difference between the thickest points and the thinnest points and the spacing between the thickest points within the same plane are set to decrease the effective surface reflectance cause by the interference or scattering effects of the infrared radiation. Preferably, the film thickness differences between the thickest points and the thinnest points are equal to or greater than null of the wavelength of the infrared radiation being measured, and the spacing between the thickest points within the same plane is shorter than the wavelength of the infrared radiation being measured.
