In a world first, researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have successfully developed a resonant tunnel diode (RTD) that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
