Abstract
The interaction of spatial soliton pairs with a nonlinear interface was stu died theoretically. With mediation of the interface, the two solitons exhib ited efficient switching and double switching. A closed-form particlelike m odel, validated by propagation calculations, yielded the soliton trajectori es and switching characteristics. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
