  Night vision goggles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Night vision goggles (NVG) or passive night goggles (PNG, for the passive type only) are a type of optical instrument that allows one to see in the dark.
Active goggles project infrared light (the same type used by most television remote control), and produce an image from the light reflected back.
In addition to goggles, night vision technology is also used in rifle scopes, security cameras, binoculars, etc.

 Night vision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some animals have evolved better night vision through the use of a larger optical aperture, improved retina composition that can detect weaker light over a larger spectral range, more photoefficient optics in the eye, and improved neurological filtering which is more tolerant of noise.
In biological night vision, molecules of rhodopsin in the rods of the eye undergo a change in shape as light is absorbed by them.
Far infrared, or thermal, sensing is generally not considered night vision because it is constructed with mechanisms substantially different from the methods used to sense visible light.

It is an inherent characteristic found in light amplification night vision systems that incorporate a microchannel plate in the intensifer.

Night vision optics capture the ambient light and amplify it.  As a low-lit image enters the objective lens, it's focused on the image intensifier tube that enhances the image.  The intensifier tube, the heart of the system, transforms that light into excited electrons.
The electrons are then amplified and projected onto a screen to produce the image you see.  ITT has taken this technology and perfected it to help us see in the dark.
ITT Industries' products and night vision systems are found throughout the world, anywhere that darkness makes it difficult to see what's out there.  ITT is a major supplier for the US Military.

Experts at the Army’s night-vision laboratory predict that a new generation of goggles now in development will fix some of the shortcomings in existing devices, such as image quality and the ability to see through smoke and dust.
The essence of these new goggles is “sensor-fusion,” which combines conventional night-vision technology (called image intensification or I2) and thermal sensors (forward-looking infrared).
Fusion goggles have been made possible by the development of uncooled IR sensors that has significantly reduced the weight of once-bulky IR devices.
