Abstract
The authors study experimentally the coherent collision of two one-dimensio nal spatial bright solitons in a photorefractive crystal. Depending on the relative phase of the solitons and their intersecting angle, effects such a s fusion, energy exchange and soliton birth have been observed. The experim ental and numerical results are in good agreement.
