5. In Kerr materials, and under special conditions, this can lead to Manakov solitons; see J. U. Kang, G. I. Stegeman, J. S. Aitchison, and N. Akhmediev, Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 3699 (1996).
6. In saturable nonlinearities (such as photorefractives), this gives Manakov-like solitons; see Z. Chen, M. Segev, T. Coskun, and D. N. Christodoulides, Opt. Lett. 21, 1436 (1996).
