Light emitting diode | Electronics | Semiconductor diode

Optoelectronic diode

  • An optoelectronic diode is a diode which includes optics along with electronics. It means optoelectronic diode either emit light or they work when light falls on them.
  • Here we will discuss about light emitting diode as an optoelectronic diode.

Light emitting diode (LED)

Principle of LED

  • In simple p-n junction diodes (Ge, Si), the energy bands are indirect.
  • When these diodes are forward biased, then the recombination of electron-holes across the junctions starts.
  • When electron jumps from higher energy level to lower energy levels then the energy emitted by electrons in these diode will be in the form of heat and hence we can not see it.
  • In some semiconductor (GaAs), the energy bands are direct.
  • When these semiconductor diodes are forward biased then in the process of recombination of electron-hole pairs, the electron jumps from higher energy level to lower energy levels.
  • The energy emitted during this process lie in the visible region, and it is clearly seen due to transparent material of the crystal.
  • Since these diodes emit light energy on forward biased, hence they are known as light emitting diode.

Construction of LED

Light emitting diode (a) Arrangement and (b), (c) Circuit symbol
  • In LED generally we use GaAs or In-P.
  • In these diodes n-type semiconducting layer grow on a p-type substrate by diffusion.
  • After it a thin layer of p-type material is grow up on n-type layer.
  • At the external sides of these layers a thin metallic contacts are attached, which are connected to cathode (K) and anode (A) respectively.
  • The whole arrangement is placed in a transparent plastic cover or envelope.
  • The colour of plastic cover depends on the light emitted by diode.
  • It is used in low forward bias.
  • The wavelength (colour) emitted by the diode depends on the the % error of As in GaAS-P diode.
  • Common formula for it is GaAs1-x Px.
  • GaAs gives I.R. light and GaP gives light of blue colour.
  • If the energy band of above diode is 1.8 eV, we get light of red colour.
  • If this diode is doped with nitrogen we get light of all the colours ranging from yellow to green in visible region.
  • Wavelength of emitted light
                λ= hc / Eg = (1.26 / Eg) μm
  • Here h = Planck's constant, c = velocity of light and Eg = energy gap between valence band and conduction band.
  • If we join seven segment of LED, then we can get any number from 0 to 9. Here a number 4 and number 8 are shown.
Seven segment LED

Uses of LED

  • LED is used in calculators.
  • It is used in watches.
  • LED is also used in platform signals.
  • Light emitting diode is also used as a pilot lamp in electronic device for showing on-off position.
  • Theses diodes are also used in optical communication systems.

Electric field due to circular loop of charge | Electromagnetics

Electric field due to circular loop of charge Electric field The space around a charged particle in which another charge experience a force is known as electric field. The source of electric field is either a charge or a time varying magnetic field. If the value of electric field does not change with time, then it will be uniform electric field, otherwise it will be non-uniform electric field. Electric field due to circular loop of charge If λ is linear charge density, then the charge on d l dq = λ d l      ⇒     dq = (q / 2πa) d l Electric field at P due to charge dq Special cases When P lies at the centre of the loop i. e., r = 0, then E = 0 When P lies very far from the centre of the loop i. e., r >> a, then E = kq / r 2 In this case circular loop behaves as a point charge.

Cardinal points of a lens system | Optics | General theory of image formation

Cardinal points of a lens system There are total six cardinal points of a lens system, which are first and second focal points, first and second principal points, and first and second nodal points. First and second focal points (First and second focal planes) A pair of points lying on the principal axis and conjugate to points at infinity are known as focal points. First and Second focal points A point on the principal axis in the object space so that the rays starting (or appear to start) from it become parallel to the principal axis after refraction from the lens system is known as first focal point (F 1 ). A point on the principal axis in the image space so that the rays parallel to the principal axis in the image space focus (or appear to focus) at this point after refraction from the lens system is known as second focal point (F 2 ). First and Second focal planes The plane passing through the first focal point, and perpendicular to the optic axis is first f...
