Abstract
We report experimental observation of bound states formed by two well-separ ated Vector spatial solitons as the result of a force balance between vecto r-soliton components. We also demonstrate a link between such soliton bound states and two-hump, two-mode solitons, along with the induced coherence e ffect observed for incoherently interacting solitons.
