    Abstract

    We study the self-trapping of the superposition of two-dimensional vector dipole solitons in nonlocal media with an arbitrary degree of nonlocality. We apply the variational approach to find the exact solution of such vector dipole solitons and investigate their stability by using directly numerical simulations. The dynamics of such vector solitons are also compared with a scalar vortex. We show the nonlocality induces an attractive force which can completely stabilize the vector dipole solitons.
