(8) Detection of laser diodes 1. Resistance measurement method: Remove the laser diode and measure its forward and reverse resistance values with a multimeter in the R×1k or R×10k range. Normally, the forward resistance value is between 20 and 40kΩ, and the reverse resistance value is ...
Crystal diode Laser diode- used in optical devices; such as CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray recorders and players. Light Emitting Diode (LED)- used in displays, as indicators and for lighting. Photodiode- the inverse of the LED. Incoming light is converted to electrical current. ...
Diode Types, Pinouts and symbols Now, that we have understood the basics of diode it is important to know there are different types of diodes each having a special property and application. In this article let’s cover only the three main types of diodes they are the Rectifier Diode, Zener...
