Abstract
We develop a theory of soliton interactions in a bulk chi((2)) medium. In p articular, we derive a general analytical model based on the effective part icle approach to predict the result of the soliton interactions and also ve rify the validity of the model by direct numerical simulations. Among the m ajor phenomena investigated are soliton scattering, spiraling, and fusion a nd also power exchange between the colliding solitons.
