It's all about electronics and something called an image intensifier (II). The II takes incoming light, which is of low energy in addition to their not being much of it, and it puts it onto an "electron emitter" where a photon of low energy light will kick out a photoelectron. This photoelectron (basically one photoelectron per incoming photon) is accelerated and then slammed into another "electron emitter" which will, because the incoming photoelectrons have been accelerated, kick out a bunch of photoelectrons per one of the incoming photoelectrons. That's the amplification part. The many photoelectrons now coming off this second electron emitter slam into a phosphor coated screen, and they cause the emission of enough photons to create an image the viewer can resolve. A link to the Wikipedia article on night vision devices is provided, and you'll find that link below.

What type of electromagnetic radiation do night vision goggles use?
Infrared light is used in industrial, scientific, and medical applications. Night-vision devices using infrared illumination allow people or animals to be observed without the observer being detected.
What type of electromagnetic radiation is used in night vision glasses?
Infra-red light. Invisible to human eyes, but relatively easy to generate, focus, and detect.
How do infared goggles work?
Night vision goggles using thermal imaging technology capture the infrared light being emitted as heat by objects in the field of view.
