Abstract :
Summary form only given. The present work is devoted to consideration of the spatial vector Bragg solitons in anisotropic planar waveguides with periodic modulation of the refractive index across the waveguide. The standard approach of the slowly varying amplitudes was used to find families of linearly and elliptically polarized solitons and to study their stability.
