N2 - A vector object formed by two optical beams interacting incoherently in a bulk nonlinear medium was examined to analyze the existence and stability of radially symmetric and asymmetric higher-order vector optical solitons. A new type of optical soliton associated with a dipole mode guided by the soliton-induced waveguide was predicted. Solitons carrying a topological charge were found to be unstable, and consequently decay into dipole-mode solitons. Further, a strong evidence was observed regarding the stability of the dipole-mode solitons.
