Abstract
Interactions in the spatial domain between two spatial solitons such as dragging and trapping are analogous to temporal soliton dragging and trapping experiments previously reported in fibers1 where they were used to obtain ultrafast all-optical switching.2 In the spatial case, the dragging occurs when initially overlapped spatial solitons having different transverse propagation directions are launched together.3
