Where there is power there is heat, and where there is heat there is often a need to sense temperature (the most widely sensed physical variable). What we call temperature is our measurement of a ...

A diode design can make terahertz signals stronger & work better, helping build smaller devices for imaging, sensing, and wireless communication.

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged by many existing technologies, including various imaging tools and ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

It is widely recognized that high-power diode lasers (HPDLs) are compact, portable and highly reliable. Recent advances in their output power and the efficiency of their electrical-to-optical power ...

Various kinds of diodes have a property called “storage charge.” The effect of storage charge is that when a diode is carrying a current in its forward conduction mode, getting that current to stop ...

The discovery of deterministic chaos—the aperiodic deterministic dynamics of a nonlinear system demonstrating sensitivity to initial conditions—has led to a major paradigm shift, overthrowing two ...
