摘要：

We report the observation of collisions between one-dimensional bright photorefractive screening solitons in a planar strontium-barium niobate waveguide. Depending on the intersection angle of the two solitons and their relative phase, we observe soliton fusion, repelling, energy exchange, and the creation of a third soliton upon interaction.
