In this work, we consider the perturbed Radhakrishnan-Kundu-Lakshmanan equation (RKL) which is the higher order nonlinear Schrodinger equation with cubic nonlinear terms in Kerr law. This equation is used to model propagation of solitons through an optical fiber. The multi-waves, interactions and Peregrine-like rational solutions of this equation are investigated with the aid of logarithmic transformation and symbolic computation without using Hirota bilinear forms By selecting appropriate values of the parameter, three dimensional plots are drawn to obtained solitons. Moreover, physical meanings of the solutions obtained were also presented.
