New all-optical approach to revolutionize night vision technology - EurekAlert


Researchers from TMOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have made significant progress in their journey to deliver a new approach to night vision technology, creating an infrared filter that is thinner than a piece of cling wrap, and that could one day be placed on everyday eyewear, allowing the user to view the infrared and visible light spectrum at the same time. They have demonstrated enhanced infrared vision non-linear upconversion technology using a non-local lithium niobate metasurface.
