Using nanometer-scale components, researchers have demonstrated the first optical rectenna, a device that combines the functions of an antenna and a rectifier diode to convert light directly into DC ...

Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new form of technology that combines two well-established technologies — a rectifier and an antenna — to create a device capable of ...

This fancy-looking slab is the world’s first optical rectenna, a small device that’s part antenna, part rectifier diode — and it’s able to convert light directly into DC current. Developed by ...

Rather than splitting an exiton across a p-n junction, why not receive light like radio waves, with an antenna and a diode? That is the thinking behind a project at Georgia Tech, which has produced a ...

Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology in the US are claiming a world first with the fabrication of a new kind of optical device that combines the function of a photodetector and a rectifier ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “DF2B6M4BSL,” an ultra-low capacitance TVS diode for high-frequency antennas. The diode ...

An ultra-low capacitance TVS diode from Toshiba offers ESD protection for high-frequency antennas used in IoT and mobile devices. The DF2B6M4BSL provides a total capacitance of 0.15 pF maximum, the ...

Developed by engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, optical rectennas use carbon nanotubes that act as antennas to capture light from the sun or other sources. As the waves of light hit the ...
