Abstract

Dark bound solitons and soliton chains without interactions are investigated for the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger (HNLS) equation, which can model the propagation of the femtosecond optical pulse under some physical situations in nonlinear fiber optics. Via the modulation of parameters for the analytic solutions, different types of dark bound solitons and soliton chains can be derived for the HNLS equation. In addition, stabilities of those structures are checked through numerical simulations. Our discussions are expected to be helpful in interpreting those new structures, and applied to the long-distance transmission of the femtosecond pulses in optical fibers.
