A high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the weak non-local nonlinearity and its optical solitons

Abstract

The present paper explores a high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation in a non-Kerr law media with the weak non-local nonlinearity describing solitons’ propagation through nonlinear optical fibers. To this end, the real and imaginary parts of the model are firstly extracted using a wave variable transformation. The modified Kudryashov method and symbolic computations are then adopted to successfully retrieve optical solitons of the model. The results presented in the current study demonstrate the great performance of the modified Kudryashov method in handling high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
