The Zener diode is similar to a general-purpose signal diode which consists of a silicon PN junction. It is a special kind of diode in which current is allowed to flow in the forward direction in the ...

Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a video ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

Most of you already know what a diode is, but how much do you really know about the device? The diode is a component which allows current to pass in only one direction. Originally they were made by ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

Comparison of a 5W laser, 10W, and 20W diode laser. All these machines have their pros and their cons, but this is a quick ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged by many existing technologies, including various imaging tools and ...

In photonic quantum computing, stable and tunable diode lasers are essential for controlling qubits encoded in photons.

A hacker’s view on ESD protection can tell you a lot about them. I’ve seen a good few categories of hackers neglecting ESD protection – there’s the yet-inexperienced ones, ones with a devil-may-care ...
