This study explores optical soliton solutions within the framework of the Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon equation (CDGE) and the ( \(1+1\) )-dimensional Boussinesq equation, utilizing the modified Sardar sub-equation method (MSSEM). The derived solutions are meticulously verified using symbolic software Mathematica and encompass a rich array of mathematical functions, including trigonometric, hyperbolic, and exponential functions. Visualization techniques, such as 3D plots, 2D plots, density graphs, and contour graphs, effectively illustrate the diverse behaviors exhibited by these soliton solutions. These equations have been studied previously, their comprehensive traveling wave solutions are relatively unexplored. By employing the modified Sardar sub-equation method, which has demonstrated effectiveness in solving nonlinear evolution equations, this study aims to bridge this gap. The soliton solutions obtained encompass a wide spectrum of behaviors, including bright, dark, periodic, singular, dark-periodic, bright-periodic, dark-singular, compactons, and bright-singular soliton solutions, as well as other complex phenomena. The comprehensive exploration of soliton solutions not only enhances our understanding of fundamental wave phenomena but also provides valuable insights for addressing nonlinear equations across various scientific disciplines, including optical fiber communications, plasma physics, and nonlinear dynamics.
