  Stable embedded solitons are discovered in the generalized third-order
nonlinear Schroedinger equation. When this equation can be reduced to a
perturbed complex modified KdV equation, we developed a soliton perturbation
theory which shows that a continuous family of sech-shaped embedded solitons
exist and are nonlinearly stable. These analytical results are confirmed by our
numerical simulations. These results establish that, contrary to previous
beliefs, embedded solitons can be robust despite being in resonance with the
linear spectrum.
