How do Zener diodes control voltage?

Zener diodes keep voltage stable by allowing current to flow in reverse at a specific level. This video explains how they work and how Zener and avalanche breakdown help regulate voltage in circuits.
Abstract: In this work, we fabricated high-performance GaN-based ultraviolet resonant cavity light-emitting diodes (RCLEDs) with dual dielectric distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). The devices were ...
