Using wavelet transform to replace Fourier transform to solute higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation, provides it as another tool, it improves the operation speed.Analyzed the high-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation general solution form.By using Db10 wavelet, obtained the matrix corresponding to differential operator and dispersive operator,also obtained the split-step wavelet method algorithm formula. Derivate the dispersion operator and the signal in wavelet domain multiplied by the approximate calculating formula, the split-step Fourier method need more complex multiplication times than the split-step wavelet method, at the same time that increase the speed of operation cost the computation precision. Finally take the split-step Fourier method as standard, analyzed the split-step wavelet method error, the results show that, for the first order soliton, between the split-step wavelet method and split-step Fourier method relative error fluctuate around 1.2%.
