Expected temporal effects in a night vision goggle (NVG) include the fluorescence time constant, charge depletion at high signal levels, the response time of the automatic gain control (AGC) and other internal modulations in the NVG. There is also the possibility of physical damage or other non-reversible effects in response to large transient signals. To study the temporal behaviour of an NVG, a parametric Matlab model has been created. Of particular interest in the present work was the variation of NVG gain, induced by its automatic gain control (AGC), after a short, intense pulse of light. To verify the model, the reduction of gain after a strong pulse was investigated experimentally using a simple technique. Preliminary laboratory measurements were performed using this technique. The experimental methodology is described, along with preliminary validation data. Keywords: Night Vision Goggles, NVG, automatic gain control, AGC, modeling, temporal behaviour
