36. A nonvanishing group-velocity dispersion (even small) is essential. Without it, in the two-component case, even when the population dynamics is taken into account, the bright-bright solitons do not occur. See H. Steudel, Physica 6D, 155 (1983). The same occurs in CSRS; see A. P. Hickman, J. A. Paisner, and W. K. Bischel, Phys. Rev. A 33, 1788 (1986).
