Abstract
We present exact stationary phase modulated solitary wave and kink solution s for a higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation. These solutions differ from the known solutions in the literature both in phase and amplitude. Th e relevance of these new solutions in the context of propagation of light p ulses in optical fibres is also discussed. In particular, we have shown tha t higher order nonlinear dispersion terms in the nonlinear Schrodinger equa tion can lead to shock wave solutions.
