Researchers have found a way to make a key electronic component on a phenomenally tiny scale -- a single-molecule diode. Recently, at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute, N.J. Tao and ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

Technological advances in the electronics industry have resulted in our digital cameras, computers, and cell phones drastically reducing in size. In order to maintain this momentum, there is a strong ...

Photo Diode chip active area sizes from 0.1mm to 3.0mm are available to provide the optimum balance between low dark current, high speed and light sensitivity. This allows for increased flexibility ...

I provided some engineering assistance a couple years ago for a company designing photo-voltaic array (PVA) based power inverters. These are sometimes referred to as micro-inverters since they are ...

Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology in the US are claiming a world first with the fabrication of a new kind of optical device that combines the function of a photodetector and a rectifier ...

The growing importance of high-power diode technology for materials-processing applications has fuelled a series of acquisitions in the area. It's been an interesting few months for the laser-diode ...

Coherent, Inc. (www.coherentinc.com) has acquired privately held Nuvonyx, Inc. (www.nuvonyx.com) , a manufacturer of high-powered laser diode components, arrays and industrial laser systems used in ...

LASER COMPONENTS has developed an ultracompact pulsed laser diode component, which combines a high current switch and capacitor together with a high power multi-junction 905nm laser diode chip within ...

Improvements in AC-DC power supply design are evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. It is easy to settle for tried and tested approaches because no one new design technique is likely to yield great ...

Taiwan-based automotive diode component maker Actron Technology saw its net profits decrease 17.8% on year to NT$331 million (US$11.1 million) in 2012. The earnings translated into an EPS of NT$4.43 ...
