In this paper, we intend to determine periodic wave solutions for the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation pertaining to negative index materials. We have treated the propagation equation possessing higher order linear and nonlinear dispersion terms with Jacobian elliptic function expansion method and arrived at the Jacobian elliptic periodic wave solutions. When the module of the Jacobian elliptic function m → 1, these solutions degenerate to the solitary wave solutions of the governing system.
