Instead, TMOS researchers used metasurface-based upconversion technology, which essentially provides an easier pathway for light photons to be processed. The photons travel through a resonant metasurface, where they mingle with a pump beam. The non-local lithium niobate metasurface boosts the energy of the photons, and draws them into the visible light spectrum without the need to convert them to electrons first. It also doesn't require cryogenic cooling – which reduces 'noise' for sharper images in traditional night vision – so can do away with even more of the bulky night-vision goggle mechanics.

This reads like a Turbo Encabulator script.

The only quirky word in there is metasurface

Depends on your scientific familiarity. Also, part of the turbo encabulator script is that most of the words are not odd, it's how they're joined which is odd.
