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.Keywords: Computer simulation; Light propagation; Nonlinear optics; Optical Kerr effect; Optical waveguides; Problem solving; Vectors; Wave equations; Saturable media; SolitonsVector solitons in (2 + 1) dimensions20002015-12-12
