摘要
We address the problem of the existence and stability of vector spatial solitons formed by two incoherently interacting optical beams in bulk Kerr and saturable media. We identify families of(2 + 1)-dimensional two-mode self-trapped beams, with and without a topological charge, and describe their properties analytically and numerically.
