description The coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation is used in simulating the propagation of the optical soliton in a birefringent fiber. Hereditary properties and memory of various materials can be depicted more precisely using the temporal fractional derivatives, and the anomalous dispersion or diffusion effects are better described by the spatial fractional derivatives. In this paper, one-step and two-step exponential time-differencing methods are proposed as time integrators to solve the space-time fractional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation numerically to obtain the optical soliton solutions. During this procedure, we take advantage of the global Padé approximation to evaluate the Mittag-Leffler function more efficiently. The approximation error of the Padé approximation is analyzed. A centered difference method is used for the discretization of the space-fractional derivative. Extensive numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the modified exponential time-differencing methods.
