For a long time, power meters were built using a combination of a base unit and an external power sensor connected via a cable. The RF signal was converted to a voltage signal in the power sensor, ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

In many applications where the input is not under system control but rather connects to the outside world, such as test equipment, instrumentation, and some sensing equipment, it is possible for input ...

For the majority of patients, scaling and root planing (SRP) is the gold standard for nonsurgical periodontal therapy. But for those patients with diabetes or compromised health, adjunctive therapies, ...

Diode lasers can significantly improve clinical parameters when used as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) during periodontal treatment, according to a new study in Lasers in Medical Science ...

Comparison of a 5W laser, 10W, and 20W diode laser. All these machines have their pros and their cons, but this is a quick ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...

The development of power diode pump laser sources that demonstrate extended life and higher brightness have resulted in this novel technology becoming commercially feasible. This effect prevents ...

Aims To assess efficacy of trans-scleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic neovascular glaucoma refractory to medical therapy. Methods Case notes of 20 eyes of 20 patients ...
