Some slight errors. Image intensifier night vision works by converting a received photon into an electron cascade though a crystal with a metal mesh which then impacts the phosphor creating the intensified image.

New digital NVGs are a camera photosensor that can detect both visual and infrared (cameras have an infrared filter to remove infrared) that image is then projected to a LCD screen. OP has the 2nd.

IR illumination can exist for both analog and digital NVGs but is not a requirement for either. The original night vision scopes un WW2 used a large IR spotlight because they were not very sensitive. IR flashlight is necessary in dark indoor environments without natural illum.
