Applications of Diodes

The nonlinear response of a diode makes analyzing the current flow in a circuit containing a diode somewhat more involved than a circuit with pure resistive elements because the effective resistance of the diode depends on the voltage. For small voltages, the effective resistance of a diode at ambient temperature (fcT/e = 0.025 V) can be written as

In addition, for speciation coupling of flow injection analysis and column chromatography with flame AAS and also a direct coupling of HPLC with flame AAS, as is possible with high-pressure nebulization, are most powerful. Here the Cr line in the visible region can be used, which makes the application of diode laser atomic absorption spectrometry possible [325]. This has been shown recently by the example of the determination of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl.

For years, typical applications of diode lasers and therefore heat conduction welding are battery boxes, rubber gaiters, or high-quality steel sinks. Furthermore, diode lasers are suited for spot welding of electronic components. 

Circuit Protection. In most applications of diodes, they are used to take advantage of the properties of the p-n junction on a regular basis in circuits. For some applications, though, diodes are included in circuits in the hope that they will never be needed. One such application is for DC circuits, which are typically designed for current to flow in only one direction. This is automatically accomplished through a power supply with a particular voltage orientation such as a DC source, power converter, or battery. However, if the power supply were connected in reverse or if...

The silicon diode (photodiode) detector consists of a strip of p-type silicon on the surface of a silicon chip (n-type silicon). By application of a biasing potential with the silicon chip connected to the positive pole of the biasing source, electrons and holes are caused to move away from the p-n junction. This creates a depletion region in the neighbourhood of the junction which in effect becomes a capacitor. When light strikes the surface of the chip, free...

One application of modem solid-state electronic devices is semiconductor materials that convert electrical energy into light. These light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used for visual displays and solid-state lasers. Many indicator lights are LEDs, and diode lasers read compact discs in a CD player. The field of diode lasers is expanding particularly rapidly, driven by such applications as fiber optic telephone transmission.

Stability may not be as much of a problem as with a diode source. However, there are problems with this method as well. The range of tunability is limited by the absorption properties of the nonlinear crystal which generates the difference frequency. At present, tunability is limited to wavenumbers >2500 cm-1 and conversion efficiencies are low. Typical laser powers in the CH2 experiments (82) were 20 n W (compared to the power of the CO lasers, 10 mW-1 W). This produces a situation where IR detectors, particularly fast ones, may be close to or background noise limited. However, it is clear that more applications of this technique will appear in the future. 

The commercialization of inexpensive robust LED and laser diode sources down to the uv region (370 nm) and cheaper fast electronics has boosted the application of luminescence lifetime-based sensors, using both the pump-and-probe and phase-sensitive techniques. The latter has found wider application in marketed optosensors since cheaper and more simple acquisition and data processing electronics are required due to the limited bandwidth of the sinusoidal tone(s) used for the luminophore excitation. Advantages of luminescence lifetime sensing also include the linearity of the Stem-Volmer plot, regardless the static or dynamic nature of the quenching mechanism (equation 10) ...
