Abstract
The families of vectorial Bragg solitons existing in transversely periodic media and their stability properties are studied in detail. Two qualitatively distinct types of polarization instabilities have been found. One leads to the significant radiation transfer into nonsolitonic forms, while the other mainly redistributes energy between two soliton components.
