Abstract
In this research, we give a new structure of solutions for the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation and its applications to mono-mode optical fibers. To achieve this, we implement two recent methods, namely, the generalized Kudryashov method and generalized Riccati equation mapping method. The new optical soliton solutions for the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation which refers to an optical field are obtained. The obtained solutions demonstrate the adequacy, strength, and effectiveness of both methods used and also show their ability to deal with different forms and patterns of the nonlinear partial differential equation.
