What does laser diode actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a ...

A research team including Brown University faculty and students created a superconducting diode without a magnetic field in multi-layer graphene, a development that could for the basis for future ...

In essence, the four-layer diode was the first integrated circuit since it did the work of two transistors, two resistors, and a diode -- all in a single crystal.

The S1 is probably the best diode laser I've used, but it still struggles to cut clear acrylic or work with any transparent materials.

How does a varactor diode work? To form the PN junction that makes a diode, half the piece is doped with a trace amount of “donor atoms” that have one more electron than the intrinsic stuff to make ...

With a tuning range from 0.5V to 2.5V, the ZV950 series of hyperabrupt varactor diodes meets the requirements of 3V frequency control and filtering systems. The diodes are reported ...

The thermal fuse and PN diode work well for overcurrent and reverse-battery connection protection, respectively, but have some unavoidable shortcomings. Alternatives based on low on-resistance ...
