To generate multi-component vector solitons, mutual incoherence in interacting beams was introduced in lieu of employing different frequencies or polarizations. Mutually incoherent beams could be used to form a vector soliton in non-instantaneous nonlinear media.Keywords: Optical waveguides; Solitons; Soliton gluons; Vector solitons; Quantum optics19992015-12-12
