I remember a year or so ago, there was some fuss about Photonis breaking the rules of night vision, with a new proprietary type of tube.

But, I don’t recall what the name of the tech was, and I haven’t heard anything else.

Anyone got some news on the subject?

They've cranked the gain on their Intens stuff, but it still falls short of what L3 is doing.
 
Can't remember exactly but that seems right.

Hopefully will be in full production and force some tube prices to drop. Most tube grades up on average about $500. more per tube just in the last couple years. I'm talking wholesale cost on 300+ tubes.
