The present study suggests a large family of optical solutions to the Kundu–Eckhaus model. Modified form of an auxiliary equation approach have been used to set the solution families. Compatible variable transform reduces the governing equation to a non linear ordinary differential equation. The parameters of the predicted solution in finite series form are determined by substitution of the solution into this ODE. The results cover a large family of optical solutions that are determined by implementation of various techniques in the literature. In this perspective, the modifed form of the a auxiliary equation approach is evaluated as a generalization of different methods widely used to construct the solutions.
