INVESTIGATION IN THE FIELD OF IMAGE INTENSIFICATION.

Abstract

The object of this study is an investigation of a solid state image intensifier consisting of a photoconductive layer and a photographic emulsion in an electric field. An incident radiation pattern produces a local conductivity of the photoconductive layer and causes a current pattern and a corresponding blackening in the photographic emulsion. Intensification in excess of 1000 were obtained at wavelengths between 800 and 850 millimicrons. The resolution is of the order of 100 to 300 microns. The intensification can be further improved by the use of thin layers of DC excited electroluminescent layers. The investigation shows that several physical effects contribute to the blackening of the emulsion. (Author)
