  2. Optical transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transistor

    An optical transistor, also known as an optical switch or a light valve, is a device that switches or amplifies optical signals.Light occurring on an optical transistor's input changes the intensity of light emitted from the transistor's output while output power is supplied by an additional optical source.

  3. Q-switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-switching

    Q-switching, sometimes known as giant pulse formation or Q-spoiling, [1] is a technique by which a laser can be made to produce a pulsed output beam. The technique allows the production of light pulses with extremely high peak power, much higher than would be produced by the same laser if it were operating in a continuous wave (constant output) mode.

  4. Cooper Wiring Devices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_Wiring_Devices

    Cooper Wiring Devices is a division of Cooper Industries and provides a range of residential, institutional and industrial grade electrical devices and wiring for consumers and building contractors. The company is the successor to both Arrow-Hart & Hegeman and Eagle Electric, both of which Cooper Industries had acquired. The Arrow-Hart brand is ...

  5. Wireless light switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_light_switch

    Wireless light switches eliminate the wire from the light to the switch location. This is useful in remodelling situations where new wiring can be a hassle. Rather than tearing down a wall to gain access to the wires, a wireless switch can be used. This avoids any need to access wires and makes remodelling fast and simple.

  6. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.

  7. Laser diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_diode

    The laser diode chip removed and placed on the eye of a needle for scale A laser diode with the case cut away. The laser diode chip is the small black chip at the front; a photodiode at the back is used to control output power. SEM (scanning electron microscope) image of a commercial laser diode with its case and window cut away. The anode ...

  8. PIN diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIN_diode

    The wide intrinsic region makes the PIN diode an inferior rectifier (one typical function of a diode), but it makes it suitable for attenuators, fast switches, photodetectors, and high-voltage power electronics applications. The PIN photodiode was invented by Jun-Ichi Nishizawa and his colleagues in 1950. It is a semiconductor device.

  9. Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_electronic...

    The first 2DES spectra were recorded in 1998. [3] 2DES has been combined with photoelectrochemical recordings (PEC2DES) to study charge separation in the photosynthetic complex photosystem I, which is the physiological output signal in contrast to fluorescence. [4] This method provides experimental access to the action spectra of the complexes.
