This paper presents the characteristics of C+L band semiconductor optical amplifier based multi-wavelength laser with variation output coupling ratios. The configuration was tested different ratios from 10% to 90%. Meanwhile, injection currents varied 110 mA 340 in a step 10 mA. optimum were observed at 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% since it produces maximum number lasing lines, signal-to-noise ratio a...

Introduction: Gap junctions are intercellular membrane channels that provide direct cytoplasmic continuity between adjacent cells. This communication can be affected by changes in expression of gap junctional subunits called Connexins (Cx). Changes in the expression and function of connexins are associated with number of brain neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroinflammation is a hallmark of vario...
