title: Multiband vector lattice solitons.
abstract: We predict multiband vector solitons in nonlinear periodic systems, using photonic lattices as a prime example. The solitons consist of two optical fields arising from different bands of the transmission spectrum, which involve both bound state and radiation mode components.
