Abstract

Image intensifiers applied to low light level phenomena provide outputs restricted to the color of the output phosphor. In many applications the ability to provide an image in color, or even color information, is desirable. A design of an intensifier system that can present images in color is described. A feasibility demonstration is presented, utilizing an intensified grating spectroscope.
