Abstract:
1. A system for handling light that is amenable for intensification by an Image Intensifier, and wherein the system includes— a light regulator adapted to regulate light intensity, wherein said light regulator is either positioned externally to said image intensifier at a focal plane of the light to be intensified, or placed internally at a focal plane of said image intensifier before the photo sensitive area of said image intensifier; and a circuit comprising an image sensor, wherein said image sensor is capable of detecting zones of intensely bright light areas in an acquired image and said circuit is coupled to an image processor that relates the locations of said zones with the respective areas on said light regulator, in a manner enabling operation of said respective areas on said light regulator, so that image received from said image intensifier is influenced; and wherein said system is characterized by— said light regulator being a transmissive MEMS component.
