Under investigation in this paper is a variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which has certain applications in the inhomogeneous optical fiber communication. Through the Hirota method, bilinear forms, dark one- and two-soliton solutions for such an equation are obtained. We graphically study the solitons with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which represent the variable coefficients of the group-velocity dispersion, third-order dispersion and fourth-order dispersion, respectively. With the different choices of the variable coefficients, we obtain the parabolic, periodic and V-shaped dark solitons. Head-on and overtaking collisions are depicted via the dark two soliton solutions. Velocities of the dark solitons are linearly related to [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively, while the amplitudes of the dark solitons are not related to such variable coefficients.

In this paper, under investigation is a (2 + 1)-dimensional variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which is introduced to the study of an optical fiber, where [Formula: see text] is the temporal variable, variable coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are related to the group velocity dispersion, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] represent the Kerr nonlinearity and linear term, respectively. Via the Hirota bilinear method, bilinear forms are obtained, and bright one-, two-, three- and N-soliton solutions as well as dark one- and two-soliton solutions are derived, where [Formula: see text] is a positive integer. Velocities and amplitudes of the bright/dark one solitons are obtained via the characteristic-line equations. With the graphical analysis, we investigate the influence of the variable coefficients on the propagation and interaction of the solitons. It is found that [Formula: see text] can only affect the phase shifts of the solitons, while [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] determine the amplitudes and velocities of the bright/dark solitons.

Fifth Order

In this paper, a fifth-order variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated, which describes the propagation of the attosecond pulses in an optical fiber. Via the Hirota’s method and auxiliary functions, bilinear forms and dark one-, two- and three-soliton solutions are obtained. Propagation and interaction of the solitons are discussed graphically: We observe that the solitonic velocities are only related to [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the coefficients of the second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-order terms, respectively, with [Formula: see text] being the scaled distance, while the solitonic amplitudes are related to [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] as well as the wave number. When [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the constants, or the linear, quadratic and trigonometric functions of [Formula: see text], we obtain the linear, parabolic, cubic and periodic dark solitons, respectively. Interactions between (among) the two (three) solitons are depicted, which can be regarded to be elastic because the solitonic amplitudes remain unchanged except for some phase shifts after each interaction in an optical fiber.

In this paper, a generalized variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher-order and gain/loss effects which can be used to describe the femtosecond pulse propagation is analytically investigated via symbolic computation. Under sets of coefficient constraints, such an equation is transformed into a completely integrable constant-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Furthermore, through the transformation, the dark one- and two-soliton solutions for the generalized variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation are derived by means of the bilinear method.

Quintic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

Optical quasi-soliton solutions for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CQNLSE) with variable coefficients are considered. Based on the extended tanh-function method, we not only successfully obtained bright and dark quasi-soliton solutions, but also obtained the kink quasi-soliton solutions under certain parametric conditions. We conclude that the quasi-solitons induced by the combined effects of the group velocity dispersion (GVD) distribution, the nonlinearity distribution, higher-order nonlinearity distribution, and the amplification or absorption coefficient are quite different from those of the solitons induced only by the combined effects of the GVD, the nonlinearity distribution, and the amplification or absorption coefficient without considering the higher-order nonlinearity distribution (i.e. α(z)=0). Furthermore, we choose appropriate optical fiber parameters D(z) and R(z) to control the velocity of quasi-soliton and time shift, and discuss the evolution behavior of the special quasi-soliton.
