Temporal 1-soliton solution of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with power law nonlinearity

Abstract

This paper obtains the exact 1-soliton solution of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with power law nonlinearity that governs the propagation of solitons through nonlinear optical fibers. The technique that is used to carry out the integration of this equation is He's semi-inverse variational principle.
