UV led's

Protons are too slow.

I'd give a lot if someone would make some p-channel GaN fets and phemts.

I have a GaN fet totem-pole driver mouse-bite module that was awful to get to work. Driving the high-side gate was nasty.

I can spot the artifical lenses in people real fast. They either have a flat surface or reflect light in an odd way. It's fun to ask how'd the eye surgery go before even being told.

Good call. might help keep tree roots out of the sewerage lines too.

I had a tear, a retinal detatch, emergency 10PM surgery with vitrectomy, laser retina welding, secondary cataract lasered twice.

They look the same to me.

It's time to do the other one.

You may not be able to see it yourself, or at least yet, but they stand out like "noise" in dark scenes of a DVD. Once you see it, you can never not notice it again,

What is the spectral characteristic of the sensitivity of an ultraviolet LED used as a photodiode? My 280nm UV LED OSRAM picks up light from a low pressure mercury lamp with a wavelength shorter than 300nm.

I make amps for photodiodes that work at 193 and 13 nm. Windowless of course.

I also have a surplus of

FIRST SENSOR PS13-5B-TO5

if anyone wants a few.

Fortunately there's no sun where these go.

We also process a fast (<1 ns) IR detector, a photo-electro-magnetic thing. They cost around $1K each.

My right eye, with the plastic lens, doesn't look flat. In fact it looks curvier than the other one.

I'm thinking that most people elect to have 20/20 distance vision, so get flat lenses. I decided to have one eye focus at about 24" and one at about 10, so I can use a computer or read a book without glasses. So I'll have two fairly thick lenses.

I also have had cataract surgery, now on both eyes, with focus distance intentionally set to something like 12 inches, for easy close work. But each eye can see the reflection off the other eye's lens if the light is just right. I would assume that others can see the lens reflections as well.

It's an odd reflection, nearly as intense as a cubic reflector, but more angle sensitive. There has to be a flat surface in whatever those inserted devices are.

I have good vision for reading and computer work. It's amazing how both eyes work together when they have different focal distances.

"Red eye" reflection is common with natural lenses.

red eye is not a reflection from the lens of the eye itself.
