Rectifier diodes

Rectifier diodes are the most commonly used diode type but other diodes come into play as well. These include Zener diodes, Schottky diodes, tunnel diodes, photodiodes, varicap diodes and light-emitting diodes. Each diode type has a different function. For example, Zener diodes control voltage, Shottky diodes work in switch circuits, light-emitting diodes are in lighting and video display circuits. Photodiodes are in light-detection circuits. A "varicap" diode is constructed like a diode but behaves as a variable capacitor.
