NVT produces and supplies worldwide Super Gen.2 tubes with multi alkali photo cathode. NVT now is able to produce series of these first class tubes: NT-3, NVT-4(CNT-4), NVT-5, NVT-6(DNT-6), NVT-7.Super Gen. 2 tubes has much better features in SNR, MTF and Resolution, etcetera. With its wide spectral range and higher light response, these tubes perform extremely well in every environment and under all circumstances, either in dynamic light conditions, or in green environments, deserts, coastal areas and on water and snow. DNT-6 tubes are equipped with features of Auto-Gating and auto-control over gain, performing 24-hour day and night. The features of enhanced SNR, MTF and Resolution with the Auto Gating lead to excellent image quality from the very dark up to daylight conditions.

North Night Vision Technology Co.Ltd (NNVT) is the largest Chinese manufacturer for image intensifiers and their components (PSU, MCP and FOP).

It is believed to manufacture image intensifiers using or at least based on production lines and technology purchased from Photonis (Photonis-DEP Nederland)[1].

Products[edit | edit source]

⚠ This section contains unverified information. You can help by adding references to it.

NNVT produces Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 image intensifiers in 16mm, 18mm, 25mm, 20/30mm and 40mm format, with wafer inverting, non-inverting, staging and hybrid formats and ICCD night vision components. They also produce UV, solar blind UV, visible and SWIR Sensors.

Furthermore, development for the following technologies is ongoing:

  • MCP-PMT
  • InGaAs Solid-State Low-Light Sensor
  • CIS Solid-State Low Light level Sensor

At the core of NNVT's lineup of image intensifiers lies a single-digit iteration standing for each new production line, starting at 1, with 7 being the latest.

In the past, NNVT used this iteration prefixed with NVT (e.g. NVT-5, ...) as naming convention.

While some distributors still use this system, NNVT uses a product number system, usually consisting of two letters, four digits, followed by a suffix of up to two letters, like GT4864AW. The first digit stands for the iteration. Product families, e.g. image intensifiers of the same format, replace the iteration with the letter X, and have no suffix, e.g. GTX864. This system draws heavy inspiration of the product numbering system used by Photonis.
