The evolution of diode laser price and performance is rapidly opening new markets. In this article, the technology consulting firm IDTechExdemonstrate how advances in semiconductor laser technology ...

In the world of electronics, a Zener diode stands out as an essential tool for regulating voltage and protecting circuits. But what makes it special? This guide is designed to break it down for you in ...

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, ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

In any electronic circuit, the energy stored in an inductor must be properly channeled in the event of switching. This FAQ explains how a freewheeling diode can help achieve smooth inductor ...
