Optoelectronics is a field of technology that deals with the generation, transmission, and detection of light. Night vision devices are a type of optoelectronic device that allow users to see in low-light or no-light conditions. These devices use image intensification technology to amplify available light and create a visible image. Night vision devices are used in a variety of applications, including military, law enforcement, surveillance, and hunting. Night vision devices are typically divided into two categories: active and passive. Active night vision devices use an infrared light source to illuminate the area, while passive devices rely solely on available light. Both types of devices use image intensification technology to amplify the available light and create a visible image. Night vision devices are available from a variety of manufacturers, including FLIR Systems, ATN Corporation, Armasight, and Sightmark. These companies offer a range of products, from handheld monoculars to weapon sights and thermal imaging cameras. Show Less Read more
