In this work, we consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with stimulated Raman scattering and quintic nonlinearity, which works as a model for the propagation of ultrashort pulse in optical fiber and also corresponds to one-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain. Introducing a Galilean transformation, we transform the model into a fifth-order complex modified KdV equation, the integrability of which has been considered in the AKNS technique framework. The N -fold Darboux transformation for the model is derived in terms of the gauge transformation of the associated $$3 \times 3$$ 3 × 3 matrix spectral problem. As applications, abundant intriguing types of nonlinear waves are obtained in zero and nonzero boundary conditions. The dynamical evolution of these nonlinear waves can be well controlled under stimulated Raman scattering and quintic nonlinearity management. Beside that, we also find some novel and interesting conversion phenomena, where a high-order term plays a pivotal role.
