Abstract
A class of exact solutions of some nonlinear envelope equations is der ived by the Hirota bilinear method. These solutions reduce to a plane wave in the far held but generally are not dark solitons. In one asymp totic regime they simplify to solitary waves on a continuous wave back ground.
