We study the infinite integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) hierarchy beyond the Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel equation which is a particular (fourth-order) case of the hierarchy. In particular, we present the generalized Lax pair and generalized soliton solutions, plane wave solutions, AB breathers, Kuznetsov-Ma breathers, periodic solutions and rogue wave solutions for this infinite order hierarchy. We find that even order equations in the set affect phase and stretching factors in the solutions, while odd order equations affect the velocities. Hence odd order equation solutions can be real functions, while even order equation solutions are always complex.
