Under investigation in this paper is a coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system which describes the propagation of polarized optical waves in an isotropic medium. By virtue of the Darboux transformation, some new solutions have been generated on the vanishing and non-vanishing backgrounds, including multi-solitons, bound solitons, one-breathers, bound breathers, two-breathers, first-order and higher-order rogue waves. Dynamic behaviors of those solitons, breathers and rogue waves have been discussed through graphic simulation.
