Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence conditions of the soliton solutions induced by considering the higher-order effects such as the third-order dispersion (TOD), self-steepening (SS), and self-frequency shift arising from stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) simultaneously in optical soliton communication. Based on the Jacobian expansion method, we successfully obtain bright and dark solitons. The results shows that the resultant inclusion is in agreement with Mollenauer et al. [Physical Review Letters 45 (1980) 1095] when the SRS is not considered; while when the SRS is considered, the existence conditions of the higher-order effects induced bright and dark solitons are not only quite different from those of the group velocity dispersion (GVD)-induced and self-phase modulation (SPM)-induced solitons, but also different from those of the TOD- and SS-induced solitons discussed by Mollenauer et al. [Physical Review Letters 45 (1980) 1095].
