The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: t… ...

Military The value of the laser diode market in the military segment is expected to exceed $1.8 billion by 2020, also growing at a CAGR of over 11%. In this segment, laser diodes are used in ...

Here are a number of alternative ways to avoid problems when driving Varactor Diodes. Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a ...

The four-layer diode, therefore, could be used to replace both the rectifiers and transistors necessary to connect long distance phone calls.

Thus, for this topology where the intrinsic body diode of the MOSFET is used as freewheeling diode, the use of a MOSFET with fast-recovery diode is more suitable. Additional benefits of this ...

These old 1N5305 current limiting diode regulators are simply constructed from a JFET with an internal feedback resistor to its gate which maintains a fixed current output.

Researchers from Berkeley Lab and Columbia University claim to have created the highest-performing, single-molecule diode ever. Said to be 50 times better in performance and efficiency than ...

Historical Archive High-power diode lasers used in physics experiment 17 Jun 2002 Researchers at the University of Michigan are using high-power diode lasers to study the elementary particle ...
