Abstract

By numerically studying the collision between (1 + 1)-Dimensional high order bright spatial solitons in a Kerr nonlinear media we show that after the collision, the high order solitons split into a number of first order solitons that corresponds to its order. Two different collision scenarios are considered: collision between two independent high order solitons and a collision with a virtual soliton simulated by the reflection at an angle of a high order soliton at a linear interface. The results demonstrate that in both cases the high order solitons split showing minor differences.
