Abstract
In their recent article, Nfor et al. [Optik - International Journal for Light and Electron Optics 285 (2023) 170951, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijleo.2023.170951] have studied, through a dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the modulational instability and soliton trains in optical fiber media with real and imaginary Raman gains. After finding a steady-state solution of this equation, they have applied the linear stability analysis to investigate its modulational instability. It appears that (i) their proposed steady-state solution is not really a continuous wave solution of their model equation, and (ii) their ansatz used for the modulation perturbation function violate all mathematical/physical rules, leading thus to an inappropriate results. Moreover, during their development on exact analytical solutions, authors have not established conditions under which those analytical solutions may exist, as one can easily verify in subsection 3.1. It is the aim of the present comment to correct all shortcomings about the modulational instability study carried out in their study. We start by presenting the correct steady-state solution of the considered dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and then investigate with details its modulational instability. We end this comment by establishing conditions under which equation (15) admits analytical solutions of form (16) when a6=0, and the present some other interesting solutions of this equation (16).
