Abstract
A system for providing stealthy vision, includes a source element providing electromagnetic radiation at a predetermined wavelength to illuminate a target; and a camera imaging the target to be illuminated; wherein the source element provides electromagnetic radiation including shortwave infrared light; and wherein the predetermined wavelength includes a wavelength in the near infrared spectrum wherein the absorption features of an atom or a molecule present in the medium where the electromagnetic radiation propagates form a continuum, that is a wavelength region wherein two or more narrow absorption lines are close enough to each other that they effectively form a single absorption area with a width greater than that of a single absorption line so that the range of the electromagnetic radiation in the medium is limited for all wavelengths within the continuum; wherein the region corresponds to a wavelength range centered at about 1382.8 nm, 1388.1 nm or 1392.4 nm.
