Abstract: An airborne optronic equipment item comprises: at least one image sensor suitable for acquiring a plurality of images of a region flown over by a carrier of the equipment item; and a data processor configured or programmed to receive at least one acquired image and transmit it to a display device; wherein the data processor is also configured or programmed to: access a database of images of the region flown over; extract from the database information to synthesize a virtual image of the region which would be seen by an observer situated at a predefined observation point and looking, with a predefined field of view, along a predefined line of sight; synthesize the virtual image; and transmit it to a display device. A method for using such an equipment item is provided.

Abstract: A device for harmonizing a laser beam path with an observation path for a target includes a laser that generates a laser beam; a first optical element that directs a first part of the laser beam toward the target along the laser beam path while directing a second part of the laser beam toward a conversion device; and a second optical element that directs a converted beam from the conversion device to a sensor that receives the converted beam and an image from the target. The conversion device includes a photoluminescent material that converts the second part of the laser beam into a converted radiation having a wavelength within a spectral band of the sensor, and an optical assembly that focuses the second part of the laser beam into the photoluminescent material and that collects at least a portion of the converted radiation to form the converted beam. The photoluminescent material can include photoluminescent ions such as erbium ions, or a semiconductor material such as indium arsenide.
