Abstract A theoretical scheme is proposed to investigate the formation of three coupled slow temporal vector optical solitons in a lifetime-broadened seven-state atomic medium. We demonstrate that the three polarized components of a low intensity linear-polarized pulsed probe field can evolve into three coupled slow temporal vector optical solitons due to the fact that group-velocity dispersion can be well compensated by the self- and cross-phase-modulation effects. Moreover, this atomic system could support the existence of various types of three coupled slow temporal vector solitons, such as bright–bright–bright, bright–dark–bright, dark–dark–dark, and bright–dark–dark vector solitons.
