Abstract
In this paper, by including Raman scattering in the coupled-mode equations, the scalar modulation instability in photonic crystal fibers is investigated. The evolution of the pump, Stokes and anti-Stokes waves along the fiber as well as the conversion efficiency for two cases, with and without Raman effect, are studied. The effect of anti-Stokes seed and the pump depletion on the evolution of Stokes wave is also considered. Moreover, the parametric gain when it is affected by Raman gain is dealt with. The results show that it is important to take into account Raman scattering, especially for wide-bandwidth parametric amplifiers which results in an asymmetric spectrum and more amplification of the Stokes wave.

Abstract
In this study, a new numerical method is introduced to obtain the exact shape of output pulse in the chalcogenide fiber Bragg grating (FBG). A Gaussian pulse shape with 173 ps width is used as an input pulse for lunching to a 6.6 mm nonlinear FBG. Because of bistable and hysteresis nature of nonlinear FBG the time sequence of each portion of pulse is affected the shape of output pulse. So we divide the pulse to leading and trailing portion in time. By using bistability curve and Fourier transformation, the exact shape of output pulse is simulated. In comparison of non-unique solution for output pulse in the previous papers, the results of this study have an optional merit.

Abstract
A relativistic theory for two-stream free electron laser (FEL) with a one-dimensional helical wiggler and ion-channel guiding in the presence of self-fields are presented. A dispersion relation (DR) which includes coupling between the electromagnetic and the electrostatic waves is derived from a fluid model, with all of the relativistic terms related to the transverse wiggler motion. This DR is solved numerically to study many unstable couplings among all possible modes. Numerical calculations are made to illustrate the effects of the self-fields on the unstable couplings. It is shown that the self-fields can produce large effects on the growth rate of the couplings.

Abstract
We solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. The characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear FBGs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval and on-off switching ratio are studied. The effects of FBG length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on FBG characteristics are investigated. We obtain an interesting result that independent of the third order nonlinear refractive index; there exists an optimum FBG length of about 6 mm at which the on-off switching ratio becomes maximized. It is also found that by increasing the nonlinearity, the maximum value of on-off switching ratio decreases. The results of this paper can be mainly used for designing all-optical switches and memories.

Abstract
In this paper, an all optical graphene-based modulation approach is proposed induced by Modulation Instability (MI). The device structure is based on graphene sheets transferred on the both arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to support amplified Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs). Due to the nonlinear nature of MI to interfere in the modulation process, the proposed approach leads to an enhanced performance in comparison to the conventional Mach-Zehnder modulators; using a low power cw driving beam (~20 µW at λ=50 µm), a high speed modulation rate (~2 Tpps) and subsequently, a high depth (89%), wideband modulation (~81 GHz) can be resulted. Since the MI is a pre-state to the chaotic regime, the modulator can be also used for secure optical communication.

Abstract
One of the main challenges for perovskite solar cell (PSCs) structures is their high sensitivity to humidity and ambient temperature, which significantly lowers the lifespan of these devices. Low stability of this devices is considered one of the principal limitations to make them commercialized. To increase the stability of the solar cell is to encapsulate the solar cell. The encapsulation is to cover the device with a non-reactive material, which prevents the penetration of ambient moisture and increases the thermal stability of the cell. If the uncoated device is exposed to continuous incident light for several hours, its structure is damaged while encapsulated device has a longer duration time. Several methods have been proposed for encapsulating a perovskite solar cell. The principal strategy of these methods involves deposition of a thin layer of polycarbonate polymer on the perovskite solar cell structure, resulting in layers of the desired structure. After fabrication and encapsulation process, the order of the various layers are FTO / bl-TiO2 / mp-TiO2 / Perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) / Spiro-OMETAD / Au / Polycarbonate Polymer. To increase the effective stability, the glass coating is placed on the polycarbonate polymer. After acquiring sufficient adhesion between the glass coating and the polymer layer on the structure of PSCs, UV epoxy is used to seal the whole structure. Having performed the encapsulation, the samples were exposed every day to 85% constant humidity and 85°C temperature for 10 hours and it was observed that the cell efficiency, under the mentioned conditions and after successive measurements, maintained to a high extent.

Abstract
In this article, the conditions of pulse production in two mutually coupled lasers are studied. Based on the obtained characteristic equation and its roots, the dynamical behavior of the system and the threshold of the instability are analyzed. For the stable operation of the system and with the use of the time series curves, it is possible to study the dynamical behavior and the stability ranges of the laser in the presence of the saturable absorber and the gain environment. This paper aims to achieve from quasi-periodic behavior in a solitary laser to the generation of a pulse train from two mutually coupled lasers in the presence of saturable absorbers. Also, the stability range for a solitary laser and then for two coupled lasers in the presence of saturable absorbers have been studied.

Abstract
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are sources in mid-infrared and terahertz (THz) regions used in the sensing domain and quality control. This paper investigates QCLs subject to filtered phase-conjugate feedback (FPCF). Instabilities can be detected using the graphical method of pole analysis and the particle swarm optimization algorithm, which allows us to identify and characterize the limitation and critical relations between the laser operating parameters. There is good agreement between the two methods to stability boundaries. The effects of FPCF in comparison with conventional optical feedback (COF), phase-conjugate feedback (PCF), and tilted optical feedback (TOF) show that the penetration time factor has a significant and greater influence on the stability of QCL subject to FPCF. These results are in perfect agreement with previous experimental and analytical studies.
