Abstract
We report experimental and numerical results that describe collisions between two-dimensional type II quadratic solitons excited in a KTP cr ystal by fundamental waves of orthogonal polarization. Our results pro vide experimental evidence of the possibility of both inelastic collis ion (when two quadratic solitons merge at input into a single soliton at output) and quasi-elastic collision.
