摘要：

We report experimental observations of the switching of a weak signal beam through cross phase modulation induced by two control soliton beams at a different wavelength. The output position of the signal beam is determined by the initial phase shift between the two control beams. The experiments performed with short pulses in carbon disulfide agree well, at least qualitatively, with numerical simulations. With a quadrature phase shift the signal beam is divided into two transversely separated output beams of approximately equal energies.
