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: thermionic ...

Built-in monitor photo diode enables system designers to optimize laser performance during environmental fluctuations. FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Opnext, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPXT - News), a global ...

The SM74611 is a smart bypass diode used in photovoltaic applications. It serves the purpose of providing an alternate path for string current when parts of the panel are shaded during normal ...

The traditional diode AM detector is shown in Figure 1. This detector has to operate at zero DC potential, so if the source has a DC component, the R-C combination is needed to block the DC in the ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Japan have demonstrated that a long-elusive kind of laser diode based on organic semiconductors is indeed possible, paving the way for the further expansion of lasers ...
