Abstract
The interactions of two solitons near a non-linear interface are studied using a numerical solution as well as by deriving a new potential for the combined two particle and interface interactions. The presence of a second (control) soliton near the interface may cause the first soliton to be transmitted through the barrier even if by itself it would be reflected. The presence of the control soliton switches the main soliton trajectory from reflection to transmission. Incoherent spatial solitons interact through the mutual change of the medium of refractive index. The control soliton reduces the effective barrier potential such that a low kinetic energy soliton can overcome the barrier.
