In long distance optical communication systems a solution to the problem of dispersion phenomenon of pulses as they travel along the fiber is optical solitons since they maintain their shape over long distances. Multiple solitons or pulses are formed when the pumping is increased in fiber lasers. The soliton bunches and bound states of soliton patterns formed due to the multiple solitons are in non-stationary state because of the oscillations within the bunch. Hence these multiple solitons may become unstable. To improve the stability of multiple solitons intensity modulation technique is used. In this paper a review on the multiple solitons, their stability and recently developed techniques to increase stability are discussed.
