  • Abstract
    The general considerations and principles involved with IR image up-conversion are presented and discussed. The factors that limit the resolution of the up-converted image are analyzed and the merits of three types of optical systems are discussed with regard to resolution and efficiency of up-conversion. Several characteristics of six nonlinear crystals are calculated and compared.
