    Abstract

    An experimental study was carried out to account for the dipole-mode solitons in strontium barium niobate (SBN) photorefractive crystals. A novel type of vector optical soliton was found, that has a radially asymmetric structure and originates from trapping of a dipole mode by the soliton-induced waveguide.
