Abstract
We report the observation of collisions between one-dimensional bright phot orefractive screening solitons in a planar strontium-barium niobate wavegui de. Depending on the intersection angle of the two solitons and their relat ive phase, we observe soliton fusion, repelling, energy exchange, and the c reation of a third soliton upon interaction.
