Exosens (Photonis) is the world leader in the design and manufacturing of state-of-the-art image intensifier tubes for military applications.
Exosens (Photonis) offers the highest quality of image intensifier tubes for a wide range of night vision devices to give to soldiers a strategic advantage in night operations. Seeing through the dark night (even in level 5) brings added capabilities in the battlefield. As autonomy and weight remain the key requirements for portable equipment, Photonis product with small size and low power consumption (SWaP) is the suitable solution.
Weapon sights, helmet displays, and night vision goggles take advantages of image intensifier technology to enhance the Detection, Recognition and Identification (DRI) range performances.
By offering image intensifier tubes with more gain, Photonis brand of Exosens (Photonis) has greatly expanded the mobility of the soldier by improving the speed and accuracy of night‐time maneuverability. Survivability has increased with an improved ability to detect and recognize targets from a greater distance. Photonis is prime contractor for all NATO countries and affiliates and its image intensifier tubes have been deployed worldwide for over 85 years.
Image intensifier tube 4G+
The 4G+ image intensifier tubes meet the stringent requirements of modern warfare at night to deliver end-users a very high performance in all field conditions.
The 4G+ technology offers extended bandwidth for high image quality on all theatres of operation, a very fast auto-gating and a small halo providing more details around light sources. Thanks to a very high Figure Of Merit (FOM) and extended sensitivity, operators benefit from the best possible range in all types of environment.
Image intensifier tube 4G
The 4G technology has become Photonis’ high runner over the last 10 years and is today the benchmark in all major European Land Forces programs and around the world.
The 4G Image Intensifier Tube (IIT) is a more affordable version than 4G+ while maintaining a high level of performance. 4G IIT provides operators high image quality and long detection ranges in the most challenging light conditions: brightness of equipment, longevity of intensifier tubes, ability to see farther in increasingly low levels of darkness and very fast auto-gating.
Image intensifier tube XR5
The XR5 Image Intensifier Tube (IIT) represents the technological standard for night vision and is available in a variety of inverting and non-inverting formats for existing and new optical systems.
A prominent feature on the XR5 is the integrated Auto-Gated power supply, facilitating operations under dynamic lighting conditions. The XR5 IIT can suit a variety of environments, under low light levels.
Nocturn Series
The Nocturn Series of low light camera cores offer a broad range of video outputs spanning from the smallest configuration for OEMs and integrators to the plug and play with HD video.
The Nocturn camera cores use the power of Lynx CMOS and SmartColor sensor for optimized low-light level imaging.
Image intensifier tubes ECHO+, ECHO and ECHO14 (Commercial Use)
The ECHO technology is the commercial grade image intensifier tube by Photonis, offering three high performance levels: the ECHO+, the ECHO and the ECHO14.
Although the ECHO+ offers a better FOM, the ECHO tube is ideal for those who want quality night vision at a reasonable price. The ECHO range of image intensifier tubes serve many night vision applications and make them perfect for sport shooters, hunters, airsoft practioners and night vision enthusiasts.
