In this research article, our aim is to construct new optical soliton solutions for nonlinear complex Ginzburg–Landau equation with the help of modified mathematical technique. In this work, we studied both laws of nonlinearity (Kerr and power laws). The obtained solutions represent dark and bright solitons, singular and combined bright-dark solitons, traveling wave, and periodic solitary wave. The determined solutions provide help in the development of optical fibers, soliton dynamics, and nonlinear optics. The constructed solitonic solutions prove that the applicable technique is more reliable, efficient, fruitful and powerful to investigate higher order complex nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) involved in mathematical physics, quantum plasma, geophysics, mechanics, fiber optics, field of engineering, and many other kinds of applied sciences.
