Delft Electronic Products B.V. in the Netherlands and Proxitronic in Germany, who manufacture image intensifiers, were visited 00-12-11--12 by Saab Dynamics and FOI. The aim was to get their view on development of gated viewing image intensifiers using pulsed laser with special interest in the eyesafe wavelength region at 1,5 micrometers. The companies produce image intensifiers at GEN II (also extended) but have no intention to start with GEN III. Proxitronic has collaboration with the University in Münster who are working with a technique using glow discharge in an array of cells and can handle a broad wavelength range in IR but at limited performance. The resolution is moderate 5-10 lp/mm which is not sufficient to resolve objects at long range (> 10 km).
