Optical solitons and complexitons of the Schrodinger-Hirota equation

The Schrodinger-Hirota equation governs the propagation of optical solitons in a dispersive optical fiber. In this paper, this equation will be solved by the ansatz method for bright and dark 1-soliton solution. The power law nonlinearity will be assumed. By using the tanh method, some additional solutions will be derived. Finally, the numerical simulations will be given. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
