The step recovery diodes are the "fastest" in that, while they may take relatively a long time between when the external voltage becomes negative until they switch fully off, the reverse current stops much more abruptly than other diodes.
The tunnel diodes and Gunn diodes are the "fastest" in that the time after the external voltage becomes negative to the time they switch off is shorter than other diodes.
The Schottky diodes are the "next-fastest" in that the time after the external voltage becomes negative to the time they switch off is very short.

What kind of device is diode?
It is an electronic device. A sort of one way valve for electricity.
What is the reverse recovery time of semiconductor diode?
When a diode passes from forward biased to reverse biased it takes a short period of time for the charge carriers in the vicinity of the junction to recombine and create a nonconducting depletion region. During this time period the diode conducts in the reverse direction, this is called the reverse recovery time. Its different for every kind of diode, to get the value for a specific diode consult the datasheet.
What is the output of a diode can be?
A diode itself has no input or output.The circuit containing the diode usually has an input and an output, maybe even more than one of each. The output of this circuit will depend on far more than the diode as well as depending on the type of diode used.Theoretically: if a diode is connected across the secondary output of a stimulated transformer, you would read a half wave at the frequency of the source across diode.Such a circuit would cause any real diode to explode due to lack of any current limiting and the resulting high power dissipation in the diode.Hence "Theoretical". That's kind of what "Theoretical" means.
Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
What is a real diode?
whether we know that p-n diode is real diode. But still in case of semeconductor we see then silics is real diode.

What kind of laser diode does a Casio projector use?
Most of the Casio projectors use a 445nm laser diode that is rated at 1 watt. The projectors have the diodes running at 600mw for life.
