contents Understanding the nuances of nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers has led to several impactful applications across domains like optical communications, sensing and biophotonics. A key aspect in this regard is the use of appropriate optimization strategies for attaining requisite performance parameters. In this paper, we present the Taguchi method as a viable tool for optimizing nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers. We show that its use of the orthogonal arrays leads to rapid convergences to the desired pulse parameters, with even faster convergences obtained by favouring exploitation over exploration. We demonstrate the application of the method using two well-known problems from the field - the guiding center soliton, and soliton order conservation in dispersion decreasing fibers - which serve to underscore its salient features and also its potential for solution discovery across nonlinear pulse propagation problems.
