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 ...

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

The diode operation results from the interaction ... called the charge depletion zone, and generates an electric field at the interface that ultimately stops this flow of charges.

Laser diodes also have very stringent material quality ... primary cause was material degradation as a result of the high electrical pumping needed to achieve lasing. It generated and led to ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) give off light and are often used for indicator lights in electrical equipment such as computers and television sets. You should be able to recognise the graph of ...
