Abstract
The authors study experimentally the coherent collision of two one-dimensional spatial bright solitons in a photorefractive crystal. Depending on the relative phase of the solitons and their intersecting angle, effects such as fusion, energy exchange and soliton birth have been observed. The experimental and numerical results are in good agreement
