Talk:Linear diode array
Appearance
Wrong name - it should be Linear photo-diode array. There are things called diode arrays that have nothing to do with this - arrays of normal diodes. Laser diodes can also be set up in linear arrays.
For instance http://www.vishay.com/company/press/releases/2004/040730bdiode/ is about real diode arrays.
And of course you can operate a normal diode array in the linear domain..
