Abstract

Summary form only given. Localized structures of laser radiation (laser autosolitons) arising in the transverse section of wide aperture nonlinear optical devices are of fundamental interest and have potential applications in information processing. Recently interaction of localized solutions and stability of their bounded states were studied in the framework of quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We consider interaction of two weakly overlapping 1D autosolitons (ASs) in a model of a laser with a saturable absorber.
