AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">An integrable coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system describing
the propagation of polarised optical waves in an isotropic medium with a generalized
4 × 4 matrix Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur-type Lax pair is studied. The corresponding
initial-boundary value problem is reduced to a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem in the
complex plane. Moreover, it is shown that the associated spectral functions depend on
each other and satisfy a global relationship.</p>
