Abstract
This paper investigates the soliton solutions to nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation with anti-cubic nonlinearity in non-kerr media. The complex form of the NLSE has been reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) using soliton ansatz. By implementing two techniques, namely, improved projective Riccati equations method and new mapping method, the ODE is solved analytically. Consequently, various types of solitons such as bright, dark, singular, dark-singular optical soliton solutions are obtained.
