Abstract
We study, theoretically and experimentally, multicomponent spatial solitons in nonlinear saturable (isotropic and anisotropic photorefractive) bulk media. We find numerically a family of the three-component dipole-mode solitons and demonstrate their stability in a wide range of the input parameters. We also observe the formation and stability of these spatial solitons in experiment with photorefractive strontium barium niobate (SBN) crystals.
