By solving numerically the extended nonlinear Schrödinger equation we
investigate the influence of higher-order dispersion effects on the
propagation of optical pulses in highly nonlinear fibers. In the anomalous
dispersion regime third-order dispersion can, in general, induce soliton
fission and yields asymmetric spectra, whereas modulation instability can be
slightly suppressed. In the normal dispersion regime we demonstrate pulse
splitting by third-order dispersion, as well as its later suppression by
fourth-order dispersion.
