We observe stable propagation of spatially localized single-and double-charge optical
vortices in a self-focusing nonlinear medium. The vortices are created by self-trapping of
partially incoherent light carrying a phase dislocation, and they are stabilized when the
spatial incoherence of light exceeds a certain threshold. We confirm the vortex stabilization
effect by numerical simulations and also show that the similar mechanism of stabilization
applies to higher-order vortices.
