Night Vision Scopes Cause Retinal Damage
Certain low cost imported night vision scopes have been proven to cause
retinal damage. An uneven phosphor coating combined with a cyclic high voltage supply has caused secondary and tertiary emissions from the phosphor in the long wave ultraviolet region. I'll post the brands and model numbers when I get the complete list. Poppa Pimple |

Here's something of interest:

Why don't you paraphrase it for us?

For your edification:
http://optoelectronics.perkinelmer.c...s/CPMPhotonCou nting.pdf Instead of multiple plates, just use a pulsating plate voltage on a single plate and you get the same effect on the phosphor.

What effect on the phosphor? I didn't phow our PMT's had phosphors. What
has this to do with UV blindness from a night vision scope?

how does one get a cascade of electrons in a PMT?
Now suppose the cascade is from one metal surface, the ejected electrons are pulled away and accelerated back into the same plate by an oscillating electric field, creating even more ejected electrons. The process repeats. Now suppose the accelerating voltage ina NVS had an ac component to it. What would happen to the back ejected particles in the ac field? They would be accelerated back into the phosphor in ever increasing amounts. Does your NVS use a switching power supply to generate the HV? Is the HV filter cap a little old?

Hmm. I see the idea but there's something missing. The fluctuations in
the voltage are small and few electrons are not absorbed. The number that "recirculate" will then be small and the amount of energy they gain will only be a fraction of the accelerating field per cycle.
