Abstract: The integrable mixed coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (MCNLS) equations is studied, which describes the propagation of an optical pulse in a birefringent optical fiber. By the Riemann-Hilbert (RH) approach, the N-soliton solutions of the MCNLS equations can be expressed explicitly when the jump matrix of a constructed RH problem is a 3×3 unit matrix. As a special example, the expression of one soliton and two solitons are displayed explicitly. More generally, as a promotion, an integrable generalized multi-component NLS system with its linear spectral problem is discussed.
