A: The principle is that is a semiconductor meaning will conduct one way only. A switching diode however will have the least of capacitance across its junction so when it disconnect is faster
A photodiode is a type of photodetector capable of converting light into either current or voltage, depending upon the mode of operation. Its characteristics is same as that of an ordinary diode, except that it depends on light.
Backward diode
The schottky diode is based on a metal-semiconductor junction, called a schottky barrier, that results in lower forward voltage and vastly decreased switching time. While an ordinary silicon diode has a forward voltage around 0.7 volts, with a germanium diode around 0.3 volts, the schottky can be as low as 0.15 volts. The switching time can be in the tens of picoseconds range, compared to hundreds of nanoseconds. The downside is limited reverse voltage rating and poor reverse voltage leakage, which increases with temperature, causing potential thermal runaway.
Absolutely not. An ideal diode's characteristic would be perfect conduction in the forward direction and perfect insulation (no conduction) in the reverse direction. Silicon diodes come respectably close.
A: A zener is a diode that when connected in the reverse mode current direction it will breakdown to a predetermined voltage any further increasing voltage the breakdown will remain practically the same.
by using a suitable diagram, explain the one of the operation in microwave energy sources except Guinn Diode.

what is the basic operation of LED
A Shockley diode is a primitive diode identical to a thyristor with it's gate left disconnected. A Schottky diode is similar to a normal avalanche diode except that it's forward voltage is quite low, and it's switching speed is very high.
It conducts in only one direction.
