ABSTRACT:
An infrared converter for converting an image of infrared radiation into a visible image or an electrical signal. The infrared converter includes a sensitive element array upon which the infrared image is formed. The array includes an array of electron emitters and associated devices for controlling the rate at which electrons are emitted from the electron emitters in response to infrared radiation incident on the sensitive element array.
