A semiconductor laser is a laser that uses a semiconductor as the gain medium. The gain medium is the active element of the device that amplifies light. It is typically made from materials like carbon atoms or silicon atoms. When pumped with electrons, these materials can produce photons, the...
What is LiDAR? Short for Light Detection and Ranging, LiDAR is a remote sensing method that irradiates objects using near-infrared, visible, or UV light then detects the reflected light with an optical sensor to measure the distance. Also called Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging, it is ...
A semiconductor diode is forward biased when the anode's voltage is more positive than the cathode's voltage, causing the diode to conduct current easily. In contrast, it is reverse biased when the cathode voltage is more positive than the anode voltage, increasingresistanceand hindering the curr...
A laser diode is a type of semiconductor diode that can generate laser light. The three conditions for generating laser light are: achieving population inversion, meeting threshold conditions, and resonance conditions. Because laser diodes have a very high sensitivity to static electricity, we should...
What is a diode, what are its functions, types and applications? A key electronic component, diodes conduct current primarily in one direction and are used to perform several functions in circuits. In this blog post, we take a look at diodes, their applications and more… ...
IR radiation is stimulated by thermal agitation when radiation strikes an object. This type of radiation moves in a straight line as light, not as thermal convection or electrical conduction. An infrared laser diode intensifies this non-visible light to deliver rapid digital transmissions in everythi...

In general, all the electronic devices need DC power supply but it is impossible to generate DC power so, we need an alternative to get some DC power thus the usage of diodes comes into the pictureto convert AC power to DC power. A diode is a tiny electronic component used in almost ...
Though small and simple, the diode is an essential part of modern electrical systems. By controlling the flow and direction of current, diodes enable countless applications of modern electronics.
Laser diode. Avalanche diode. Zener diode. Schottky diode. Photodiode. PN junction diode. What is diode current? The diode current equation expressesthe relationship between the current flowing through the diode as a function of the voltage applied across it. Mathematically the diode current equation...
