The reverse conduction mode of operation of the SiC trench JFET allows for diode-free synchronous rectification. This paper shows that the reverse conduction mode is an inherent property of the device caused by diffusion of electrons through the source fingers under conditions of moderate gate-drain diode forward bias. Experimental results confirm the expectations for a vertical-channel SiC JFE...

High-power laser-diode arrays, which are made of stacks of individual or multistripe laser diodes, or in some cases vertical-cavity surfaceemitting lasers (VCSELs), can put out watts to kilowatts of optical power for uses such as laser pumping, industrial heating, illumination, or as the input for fiber-optic direct-diode laser devices for materials processing or for medicine. Laser diodes typi...

A small active in-vacuum beamstop has been developed to monitor the flux of intense third-generation synchrotron X-ray beams protecting the downstream detector from the direct beam. Standard active beamstops, where a built-in diode directly absorbs the beam, have limitations in size and lifetime. In the present design, a silicon PIN diode detects the photons back-scattered from a cavity in the ...

An electronic diode is a nonlinear semiconductor circuit component that allows conduction of electrical current in one direction only. A component with similar functionality for electromagnetic waves, an electromagnetic isolator, is based on the Faraday effect of rotation of the polarization state and is also a key component in optical and microwave systems. Here we demonstrate a chiral electro...

Nowadays, quasi-continuous wave diode lasers are used in a widespread variety of applications. Temperature effects in these lasers can strongly influence their performance. In this paper, the effects of temperature have been experimentally investigated on different features of a 60W-QCW diode laser. The obtained results indicate that the conversion efficiency and operation voltage of diode lase...

n-CdO/p-Si heterojunction diode was fabricated using sol-gel spin coating technique which is a low cost and easily scalable method for preparing of semiconductor films. The structural and morphological properties of CdO film were investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra indicated that the film was of polycrystalline nature. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicate that th...

INTRODUCTION Diode laser with wavelengths ranging from 810 to 980 nm in a continuous or pulsed mode was used as a possible instrument for soft tissue surgery in the oral cavity. DISCUSSION Diode laser is one of laser systems in which photons are produced by electric current with wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980nm. The application of diode laser in soft tissue oral surgery has been evaluated fr...

A simple and elegant method impedance of a typical THz self-complementar to the high-impedance of a nanodiode is propos balanced lines emerging from the antenna feed connect the diode, correct for the reactive c antenna impedance and compensate the parasi the diode. Numerical simulations considering with a metal-insulator-metal diode showed that several kΩ can be effectively matched.

introduction: periodontitis is an inflammatory disease, for which, scaling and root planning (srp) is the common approach for non-surgical control of inflammation. using lasers is another approach in the first phase of periodontal treatment for control of inflammation. diode laser has some beneficial effects such as acceleration of wound healing, promotion of angiogenesis and augmentation of gr...
