Optical solitons in birefringent fibers with Kerr nonlinearity by exp-function method

Optical solitons in birefringent fibers is studied in this paper. The exp-function methods is adopted to reveal singular soliton solutions along with other solutions that fall out as a byproduct of this scheme. The special cases of cascaded systems and Thirring solitons are also covered. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
