EAM Integrated Widely Tunable DBR Lasers Based on InGaAlAs/InP MQWs by Mengyang Zhong, Huan Li, Daibing Zhou, Kun Yang, Fei Guo, Dan Lu, Lingjuan Zhao, Song Liang

“…At 25°, the electro-absorption modulator (EAM) of the device has a small signal modulation bandwidth exceeding 27 GHz, which is notably higher than the bandwidth for a TEML device having the same structure but InGaAsP MQW active material. At 25 Gb/s NRZ data modulation, to achieve 10E-10 bit error rate (BER), the power penalty after 5 and 10 km fiber transmission are 1 and 3 dB, respectively. …”

Study on the role of tissue-specific and non-specific autoantibodies, matrix metalloproteinase-3 and neuron-specific enolase enzymes in the exacerbation of autoimmune thyroiditis by R. R. Rahimova, A. M. Efendiyev, I. J. Shahverdiyeva, G. S. Dashdamirova, S. R. Guliyeva, U. H. Azizova

“…Elevated titers of anti-DNA autoantibodies may indicate an aggravation of the autoimmune process due to cellular structure damage, resulting in gland dysfunction. The findings also suggest that metalloproteinase-3, a marker predicting thyroid tissue damage, may negatively impact the immune response induction, ultimately affecting the activity of neuron-specific enolase. …”
