"Photonic Barriers" and NVGs #shorts
This YouTube Short explains the concept of 'photonic barriers' when using night vision devices (NVDs). A photonic barrier occurs when bright IR illumination or light reflecting off nearby objects overwhelms the NVD's ability to see beyond them, creating a visual obstruction. The video suggests a solution using laser-based IR illuminators that can project illumination past closer objects without directly illuminating them. It highlights the use of a Sionyx Opsin digital NVG monocle, an Inforce IR flood light, and a BE Meyers Kiji focused IR illuminator.
