Abstract

We investigate the inhomogeneous higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger (INHLS) equation including cubic–quintic–septic (CQS) nonlinear terms and gain or loss with variable coefficients. The exact analytic solution that describes dark soliton-type pulse propagation is found for the model by employing the ansatz method. Unlike the traditional \(\text {tanh}\) dark soliton in Kerr-type media, the functional form of this novel dark-managed soliton structure takes a \(\text {sech}^{2/3}\) profile. Parametric conditions are presented in which these optical solitons exist. We also investigated the stability of these dark-managed solitons under some initial perturbations by employing the numerical simulation methods. Finally, the interaction dynamics of two and three dark-managed solitons has been numerically explored.
