A diode obeys the Shockley diode equation and for this circuit we have:![hi ](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/CvokYKHDRToYpsF7M2xp9yZN)

The current through the diode must not pass a limit so for LTL-307EE we go to the datasheet to find the maximum current before the diode is destroyed:

For the LTL-307EE at 20C we have 10^4 A Isat and Vth=0.026V

(120mA).

Now in order to find the resistance we find the resistance of the resistor if max current was flowing through the diode

![hi](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/HvZTbQ5NUVUCTF2vcbVoZoC4)

If we solve this equation we get:

![hi](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/5H5JgiXSXYLVQyEzoUM1oKzw)

So in order for LTL-307EE to not be damaged the resistance of R1 > 73.46Ω

Hope this helps
