In this work, we consider a (2+1) dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger system which appears in the theory of nonlinear optics and describe transmission of the optical pulses in optical fibers. We attain certain special type traveling wave solutions of the under investigated model by help of finite series expansion and auxiliary differential equations. In this manner, we exploit exp(−ϕ(ε)) and modified Kudryashov approaches as solution procedures. Moreover, we make tanh ansatz because of the being even order of the reduced ordinary differential equation. The obtained solutions are in the form of dark soliton, combined soliton, symmetrical Lucas sine, Lucas cosine functions, and periodic wave solutions. We present also some graphical simulations of the solutions corresponding to values of parameters which leads to a better understanding the phenomena.
