1. This improvement was accomplished largely through improvements in silicon diode technology. 2. With the availability of affordable silicon diode rectifiers, alternators were used instead. 3. However, the rapid development of the silicon diode made it ultimately redundant. 4. In 1961 the mercury arc tubes were replaced by replaced by silicon diode rectifiers. 5. For output voltages above ten volts or so, ordinary silicon diodes are commonly used. 6. Here is some detailed experimental data, which shows this for a 1N4005 silicon diode . 7. Unfortunately, the silicon diode 's different characteristics caused the automatic gain control circuit to fail. 8. Also, the driving circuit can have silicon diodes mounted in thermal contact with the output transistors to provide compensation. 9. You should use two LEDs in antiparallel or place an ordinary silicon diode in antiparallel with the LED, though. 10. Wide-gap solid-state devices or vacuum devices with high-cutoff photocathodes can be attractive compared to silicon diodes .
