optogenetic defibrillation
An optogenetic technique that embeds genetically-engineered proteins to the heart to aid in terminating arrhythmias. After the proteins are embedded in the heart, it can be defibrillated by pulses of light. The light pulses activate the proteins...
electroforming process
An electrochemical process of metal fabrication using an electrolyte, an anode to supply the metal, and a control of the...
transverse field modulator
A Pockels cell in which electrical current is applied in a direction orthogonally to that of the light beam.
photoelectromotive force
The force that stimulates the emission of an electrical current when photovoltaic action creates a potential difference...
electric lamp
Any lamp whose emission of radiant energy is dependent upon the passage of an electrical current through the emissive medium.
Silsbee effect
The ability of an electrical current to destroy superconductivity by means of the magnetic field generated by the current....
radio-frequency light source
A very uncommon lamp in which a tungsten electrode is heated to incandescence by a radio-frequency electrical current.
driving current
The minimum electrical current input needed to initiate lasing.
optoelectronics
Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light...
cesium vapor lamp
A lamp that emits light as the result of the passage of an electrical current through ionized cesium vapor.
electrosensitive recording
A technique that uses the passage of an electrical current through a recording medium to produce a permanent image on that...
photodiode detector
A photodiode detector is a semiconductor device that converts light into an electrical current. It operates based on the...
APD detector
An APD detector, or avalanche photodiode detector, is a type of photodetector used to detect light or optical signals by...
galvanoluminescence
The emission of radiant energy produced by the passage of an electrical current through an appropriate electrolyte in which...
laser diode module
A laser diode module is a compact device that incorporates a laser diode, optics, and often other components into a single...
silicon photodiode
A silicon photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts light into an electrical current. It is a type of photodetector...
isolator
In the context of electronics and optics, an isolator refers to a device that allows the transmission of signals in one...
fiber optic transceiver
A fiber optic transceiver, often simply referred to as an "optical transceiver," is a device used in fiber optic...
diode laser
A diode laser is a type of laser that uses a semiconductor diode as the active medium to generate coherent light....
solar cell
A device for converting sunlight into electrical energy, consisting of a sandwich of P-type and N-type semiconducting...
