Researchers have now successfully produced semiconductor laser diodes that produce light in the ultraviolet range, where short wavelengths promise a new level of precision scientific applications ...

I'm back with the third part to my laser weapon series (see part one and two), and I'll be explaining the function, application, and potential of semiconductor lasers, aka laser diodes. Surely ...

Diodes Incorporated Unveils Comprehensive PCIe 5.0 Portfolio That Will Increase Trace Lengths, Minimize Losses, and Improve Jitter Performance ...

With the P-Semiconductor biased positively and the N biased negatively, electrons easily can flow into the diode, jump across the small 0.7V depletion region and leave to continue on their merry way.

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… ...

Diodes, one-way current conductors, are used for voltage regulation, AC/DC conversion, and circuit protection. Forward-biased at 0.6V, conduct current, reverse bias blocks it.

Researchers have demonstrated how a heterostructure consisting of superconductors and magnets can be used to create uni-directional current like that found in semiconductor diodes.
