They're known as "thyristors" and a variety of types, including Shockley Diodes, exist. Thyristors are chiefly used as switches to control power supplies -- often in electrical utility systems.

You will learn about semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers ... physics and you will learn how we can manipulate the materials to tailor electrical and optical properties.

You will apply the drift-diffusion model, solving Gauss' law leading to the depletion layer width, the maximum electric field and capacitance versus voltage relation. Next is the derivation of the ...

A team of researchers from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) has reshaped the future of ...

By the conclusion of 2022, the global market for tunable diode laser analyzers is poised to create an additional economic ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used electroluminescent devices that emit light in response to an applied electric ...

Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), the leader in advanced laser technology, is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking 793nm pump laser diode, setting a new industry standard with an impressive ...

Researchers developed a nanoscale quantum resonant tunnelling diode that mimics a sensory neuron, detecting light, processing data, and converting it into electrical signals in one device.

In addition to the optical considerations common with all semiconductors, diode laser structures must also incorporate a means of injecting an electrical current into the active region.
