Abstract
Phase-shift controlling can attenuate the interactions between solitons and gives practical advantage in optical communication systems. For the variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which can be imitated the transmission of solitons in the dispersion-decreasing fiber, analytic three solitons solutions are derived via the Hirota method. Based on the obtained solutions, influences of the second-order dispersion parameters and other related parameters in different function types on the soliton transmission are discussed. Results declare that phase-shift controlling of solitons in dispersion-decreasing fiber can be achieved when the dispersion function is Gaussian one. In addition, by adjusting the constraint value, propagation distance of solitons can be further extended. This may be useful in the optical logic devices and ultra-short pulse lasers.
