Historical Note

The first published paper on the SRD is (Boff, Moll & Shen 1960): the authors start the brief survey stating that "the recovery characteristics of certain types of pn-junction diodes exhibit a discontinuity which may be used to advantage for the generation of harmonics or for the production of millimicrosecond pulses". They also refer that they first observed this phenomenon in February, 1959.

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or note:

    Whether considered as a doctrine, or as an historical fact, or as a movemement, socialism, if it really remains socialism, cannot be brought into harmony with the dogmas of the Catholic church.... Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are expressions implying a contradiction in terms.
    Pius XI [Achille Ratti] (1857–1939)

    There was a saviour
    Rarer than radium,
    Commoner than water, crueller than truth;
    Children kept from the sun
    Assembled at his tongue
    To hear the golden note turn in a groove....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
