It can be easily seen that these plots are consistent with that of Ref. [17].The TOD parameter is
positive in the entire given frequency regime. In order to find the solitary wave solution of Eq.

It is important to note from Eq. (17) that localized bright soliton solutions exist only if 0 > o and

In Fig.2 we depict the spatio-temporal evolution of a soliton inside the waveguide over a distance
of nearly 6.5 m u for the following typical parameters:

It can be observed that the soliton is shifted towards the positive time axis during its evolution
owing to a slight positive self-steepening (SS) effect (~0.46 in normalized unit at
pe
e e 6 . 0

= ).It
would be interesting to check two extreme cases carefully. In Fig.3 and 4 we plot the input and
output amplitude profiles of soliton pulses for
pe

pe
e e 01 . 0

distance of propagation in the first case is 6.5 m u while in the later it is 20 nm.

It has been predicted in Ref. [19] with regard to the negative index material and other literatures
[27] in the context of ordinary material, that as the propagation distance increases, the positive
SS shifts the center of the generated pulse towards the trailing edge. The higher the value of SS
the larger would be the shift. We observe that even though SS~ 0.19 in Fig.3 as against 0.46 in
Fig.2, the shift of the soliton pulse is larger for the same propagation distance of the waveguide.
It is important to note that the respective values of the TOD coefficient are 140 and 131 (in
normalized units) for
pe
e e 6 . 0
0
= and
pe
e e 62 . 0
0
= . Again in Fig.4 we find that the soliton is
shifted towards the leading edge in spite of having a large positive SS (~100), but even larger
TOD coefficient (~
9
10 ) for
pe
e e 01 . 0
0
= .From these results it may not be unreasonable to
conclude that positive SS has the tendency to shift the center of the pulse towards the trailing
edge while positive TOD does the opposite. In an ordinary waveguide like optical fiber, positive
TOD slows down the soliton during its propagation and thereby shifts it towards the trailing
edge.
In conclusion, we have found the solitary wave solution of the generalized Nonlinear
Schrodinger equation including the third-order dispersion term, using a scaling transformation
and coupled amplitude-phase formulation. Our study shows that the third order dispersion shifts
the center of the soliton towards the leading edge of the pulse unlike in an ordinary waveguide.
Hence a judicious choice of the TOD and SS parameter might be effective in controlling the
soliton shift in a NIM based waveguide. This work may motivate the researchers to have a closer
look at the role of the higher order dispersive effects in nonlinear pulse propagation and other
related issues in NIMs.
