In this paper, the interactions between optical solitons are studied based on the theory of generalized Schrödinger–Hirota equation. By studying the amplitude ratio, spacing and phase difference of the optical solitons, the interactions between the optical solitons occurring in the optical fiber transmission process are attenuated. The noninteraction transmission of optical solitons are realized with small spacing between them.
