Abstract Effect of perturbations on spatial dark optical solitons is studied analytically with a novel direct perturbation approach for dark solitons. The problems of two-photon absorption and gain with saturation are reconsidered. The corresponding shifts of the soliton centers which have never been obtained by previous theories are given.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
