She begins by explaining how a standard PN diode works. However, laser diodes are PIN diodes. Understanding the I, which stands for “intrinsic” layer, is important to understanding what makes laser diodes different, and how they are able to produce such a small, focused beam. Since laser diodes can be dangerous, Karen reviews laser safety, then wraps up the video by showing off some of the many uses for laser diodes. Keep your eyes peeled for the next video from The Learning Circuit where Karen shows how to use a laser diode to make a trip wire alarm!</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: lens, intrinsic, diode, e14presents_makerkaren, pn diode, pin diode, wavelength, p-type, n-type, semiconductor, collimation, BEAM, laser, coherence, depletion zone</div> https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/thelearningcircuit/w/documents/5170/how-laser-diodes-work----the-learning-circuit-83/revision/1Wed, 06 Oct 2021 22:30:32 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:9947ef13-b01d-40ba-9928-1913c194d605tariq.ahmadhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/thelearningcircuit/w/documents/5170/how-laser-diodes-work----the-learning-circuit-83#commentsRevision 1 posted to Documents by tariq.ahmad on 10/6/2021 10:30:32 PM<br /> <div style="background:#ffffff;padding:14px 16px 16px 18px;margin:0;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #dadada;"><div style="float:left;display:inline-block;padding:0px 25px 8px 0px;"><a href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/"><img alt="element14 presents" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2018/e14PresentsJune818.png" width="180px" /></a></div><div style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:70%;"><span style="font-size:18px;font-weight:bold;">How Laser Diodes Work</span><p style="margin:0;"><span><a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/thelearningcircuit/">The Learning Circuit</a></span> <strong>|</strong> <a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/">element14 presents</a> <strong>|</strong>&nbsp; <a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/project-videos/">Project Videos</a></p></div></div><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"></p><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOai-C1fxIM">www.youtube.com/watch</a></span><p style="margin:0;"></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;border:1px solid #b8d7e5;background-color:#e9f6fc;padding:8px;max-width:744px;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:&#39;Open Sans&#39;, Arial, sans-serif;text-align:justify;">In this The Learning Circuit lesson, Karen teaches about laser diodes.
