This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

In the circuit shown above, Vs is a 10-V square wave period 4ms, R=100Ω, and C=20µF. Sketch Vc for the first two cycles of Vs if the capacitor is initially uncharged and the diode is ideal. Source: ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged ...

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