We numerically studied on the dark solitons propagation for initial amplitude and phase shapes in the normalized nonlinear Schr dinger equation(NLSE) which describes the propagations of optical solitons. As the propagation distance increases, odd dark solitons evolve into a black soliton and pairs of gray solitons which have a different sign of blackness, and even dark solitons evolve into pairs of gray solitons without black solitons. When there exists a black soliton and a gray soliton, even though the initial amplitude shape is same, the sign of blackness of a gray solitons determines whether they would collide or not. We could see that the energy of dark solitons evolve into a couple of solitons of different blackness since there exists a continuous range of dark solitons with arbitrary blackness parameter, and this phenomenon was more clearly seen from the change of phase shapes from that of amplitude shapes. hapes.
