Abstract
The interaction between two optical vortex solitons (OVS), formed on d ifferent background beams is analyzed numerically. Analogous to the on e-dimensional case, vector OVS seem obtainable [12]. The relative topo logical charges of the interacting (off-axis) vortices are found to ru le their propagation characteristics. Attraction is found in the case of equal charges, in contrast to the opposite case, where repulsion is present.
