The introduction of the diode array detector helped overcome this problem by providing access to quantitative as well as qualitative spectral information for a wide wavelength range. Agilent Technologie introduced the first diode array detector for liquid chromatography in 1982. Since that time significant improvements in the design of both the hardware and software have been made, Enhanced Dio...

A commercial version of a synthetic single crystal diamond detector (SCDD) in a Schottky diode configuration was recently released as the new type 60019 microDiamond detector (PTW-Freiburg, Germany). In this study we investigate the dosimetric properties of this detector to independently confirm that findings from the developing group of the SCDDs still hold true for the commercial version of t...

A series of tests were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of a diode detector array in measuring flatness and symmetry of x-ray and electron energies, and the ability to determine change in beam energy. The results show the diode detector array accurately measures flatness and symmetry and can accurately measure or detect change in beam energy. The evaluation also demonstrates the utility of us...

An analysis of tnmel-diode low-level detection is presented for the purpose of explaining some of the unusual detection characteristics that occur under certain hias conditions. For example, in the vicinity of its inflection hias point, a tmmel diode exhibits a discriminator-like rectification behavior with two sensitivity peaks. When biased at one of these peaks, the diode is capable of unusua...

The use of a novel inexpensive photometric device, a paired emitter-detector diode (PEDD) has been applied to the colorimetric determination of phosphate using the malachite green spectrophotometric method. The novel miniaturized flow detector applied within this manifold is a highly sensitive, low cost, miniaturized light emitting diode (LED) based detector. The optical flow cell was construct...
