In this paper, we aim to discuss a fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau equation by using the parabolic law and the law of weak non-local nonlinearity. Then, we derive dynamic behaviors of the given model under certain parameter regions by employing the planar dynamical system theory. Further, we apply the ansatz method to derive soliton, bright and kinked solitons and verify their existence by imposing certain conditions. In addition, we integrate our solutions in appropriate dimensions to explain their behavior at various groups of parameters. Moreover, we compare the graphical representations of the established solutions at different fractional derivatives and illustrate the impact of the fractional derivative on the investigated soliton solutions as well.
