In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...

The development of power diode pump laser sources that demonstrate extended life and higher brightness have resulted in this novel technology becoming commercially feasible. This effect prevents ...

Gaps in the coherence spectrum of diode lasers have been known to hinder research. Anselm Deninger and Thomas Renner look at how these gaps are being filled and the applications that are benefiting ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...
