Laser diodes, the devices that illuminate telecom fiber-optic cables, require light-current-voltage (L-I-V) measurements during production. These measurements let you characterize a laser diode's ...

The Model 2520 Pulsed Laser Diode Test System performs electrical characterization of laser diodes in either the chip/bar state or in finished products. According to its manufacturer, the 2520 is the ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Paul Crump, head of the High-Power Diode Laser Lab at the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) in Berlin, will lead the newly ...

Laser diodes are critical components powering innovations across industries, from telecommunications and medical devices to autonomous vehicles and consumer electronics. As demand for high-performance ...

ILX Lightwave, a Newport Corporation brand, introduces the LRS-9580 Calibration System. The new system is a complete, self-contained transportable unit capable of calibrating fixtures, shelves, and ...

FitTech, a provider of LED probing, testing, and sorting equipment, has expanded its footprint in new industries such as compound semiconductor and laser diode testing, where it anticipates ...

If you’ve played around with laser diodes that you’ve scavenged from old equipment, you know that it can be a hit-or-miss proposition. (And if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?) Besides the real ...

Four New Jersey cities have begun testing new street lamps powered by light-emitting diodes. The new LED lamps are expected to reduce energy consumption significantly, have a longer life expectancy ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...
