Abstract
In this article, we have discussed the analytical solution to the higher order nonlinear Schrodinger equation representing the propagation of short light pulses in the monomode optical fibers. A simple transformation is introduced to convert the nonlinear partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation. A verity of traveling solutions are obtained by employing the auxiliary equation method. The technique can also be functional to other sorts of nonlinear evolution equations in contemporary areas of research. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
