Observation of two-dimensional lattice vector solitons

Opt Lett. 2004 Jul 15;29(14):1656-8. doi: 10.1364/ol.29.001656.

Abstract

We demonstrate the formation of fundamental and dipolelike vector solitons in an optically induced two-dimensional photonic lattice. Such vector solitons are realized by mutual trapping of two beams in the lattice. Our theoretical results are in good agreement with experimental observations.
