High-power diode bars that are highly efficient and boast output powers of hundreds of watts are now commercially available. Merrill Apter gives a tutorial on the technology.

We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception. In it, he asserts that all Zener diodes are not created equal. Why? You’ll have to watch the video belo… ...

There’s an in-depth tutorial of the classic series diode that’s the simplest of all power protection circuits. There’s not much to it – just a diode that provides reverse polarity protection.

By diode-combining those from the BE, and further diode-combining their output with that of the Nautel, I have a rock-solid power source to energize my interlock relay. Figure 1 shows what was done in ...

At peak power, this electronic assemblage develops a staggering 3.2 million watts of power and are the most powerful laser diode arrays ever built.

High-power broad-area diode lasers have emerged as a pivotal technology in modern photonics, combining high energy output with the benefits of semiconductor manufacturing. These devices employ ...

KYOCERA SLD Laser, Inc. (KSLD), a world leader in commercialization of laser light sources, is introducing its new high power 5 watt blue laser diode ...
