A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Superconductors — materials that conduct electricity with zero loss of energy — have been well-understood since the development of what’s called the BCS theory in ...

The diode is one of the most commonly adopted and simply made elementary component in semiconductor technology. It’s been the basic starting brick for the construction of all electronic technology, ...

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 to be characterized ...

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 ...

The miniature laser diode emits more intense light than those currently used. A new laser device created at the University of Central Florida could make high-speed computing faster and more reliable, ...
