TL;DR: In this paper, the design factors for a parametric image converter operating from the infrared to the visible were considered, and means for broadband, high resolution, high efficiency picture conversion might be obtained, and calculated performance figures were given for a hypothetical system based upon lithium niobate.
Abstract: The design factors are considered for a parametric image converter operating from the infrared to the visible. Means are proposed whereby broad-band, high resolution, high efficiency picture conversion might be obtained, and calculated performance figures are given for a hypothetical system based upon lithium niobate. These figures are compared with previous experimental ones obtained by the author and with those for a scanning photodetector system. It is concluded that an image converter competitive with existing systems in the 1 to 10-μ band might be built and made operational.
