Laser diodes, the devices that illuminate telecom fiber-optic cables, require light-current-voltage (L-I-V) measurements during production. These measurements let you characterize a laser diode's ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Telecommunications operations depend on electrical testing for uptime and profitability. Testing is a critical part of building and operating a telecommunications facility. But who should perform the ...

Where were you in 1996? Were you at the start of your career in the electrical industry or a seasoned expert in your prime? Regardless of where that year found you in your professional life, one thing ...

Final electrical test remains one of the best ways to assess a circuit’s ultimate viability. But we know that, unfortunately, even 100% end-of-line electrical testing of semiconductor wafers will not ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

The new dual-purpose instrument combines high-voltage insulation testing up to 20 GΩ with comprehensive electrical measurement capabilities for field electricians.

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...
