Optical solitons in a power-law media with fourth-order dispersion by three integration methods

Abstract

In this paper, the extended trial equation method, the -expansion method and the -expansion method are used in examining the analytical solution of the non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with fourth-order dispersion. The proposed methods are based on the integration method and a wave transformation. The NLSE with fourth-order dispersion is an equation that arises in soliton radiation, soliton communications with dispersion caused by the hindrance in presence of higher order dispersion terms. We successfully get some solutions with the kink structure.
