title: Two-color vector solitons in nonlocal media.
abstract: We investigate the interaction between two beams differing in wavelength and the properties of dual-frequency spatial solitons in nonlocal birefringent reorientational media. We report the first experimental observations of anisotropic nonlocal vector solitons in unbiased nematic liquid crystals. Model and simulations, based on the paraxiality along the Poynting vectors, include joint walk-off and breathing.
