A high-order finite difference method for the two-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations is considered. The proposed scheme is proved to preserve the total mass and energy in a discrete sense and the solvability of the scheme is shown by using a fixed point theorem. By converting the scheme in the point-wise form into a matrix-vector form, we use the standard energy method to establish the optimal error estimate of the proposed scheme in the discrete L 2 -norm. The convergence order is proved to be of a fourth-order in space and a second-order in time, respectively. Finally, some numerical examples are given in order to confirm our theoretical results for the numerical method. The numerical results are compared with exact solutions and other existing method. The comparison between our numerical results and those of Sun and Wangreveals that our method improves the accuracy of space and time directions.
