a diode is any electronic device that conducts current significantly better in one direction than the other. it can be a vacuum tube diode, a gas filled tube diode, a point contact semiconductor diode, a junction semiconductor diode, any of several metal oxide diodes, etc.

typical applications are:

  • AC power rectifiers
  • Amplitude modulated radio signal demodulators (detectors)
  • Gas filled tube diodes used to be used in certain types of digital counters and computer registers
  • Digital logic gates
  • Sign detection circuits in analog computers
  • Voltage clamps and clippers
  • Frequency modulated radio amplitude limiters to remove static and interference
  • etc.

What are some practical uses of diodes?

Diodes are largely used for changing AC into DC. A half wave diode bridge will use two diodes for this purpose. A full wave bridge uses four diodes to accomplish this task.See related links below.


Is SCR is a switch?

I's a electronic component that act like a controlled diode. It can be used as a switch on some applications, but with some limits. 1- A SCR is a diode, and as such, it only conduct in one direction. 2-The SCR only turn off when the current passing it reaches zero.

Is a diode laser a nd. yag laser?

No, a diode laser and an Nd:YAG laser are two different types of lasers. A diode laser uses a diode as the laser medium and is commonly used for various applications such as hair removal and skin treatments. On the other hand, an Nd:YAG laser uses neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet as the laser medium and is often used for medical and cosmetic procedures, as well as in industrial applications.


What is more referred to use si diode or a ge diode?

silicon diode is preferred more when compared with germanium diode because in silicon diode the operating voltage is 0.7v where as in germanium diode the operating voltage is 0.3v , germanium is temperature sensitive so it can be easily destroyed by increasing temperature hence silicon diode is preferred more
