Coupled spatial-soliton pairs in saturable nonlinear media

We present a simple and straightforward approach to investigate coupled spatial-soliton pairs of two copropagating mutually incoherent (i.e., both beams are fully spatially and temporally coherent, but are incoherent with respect to one another) light beams in saturable nonlinear media. The approach provides a deeper understanding of coupled spatial-soliton pairs and reveals many interesting features, including the entire existence curve of such solitons.
