Abstract:
We present experimental and numerical results about dynamical interactions of topological solitons in a semiconductor laser with coherent injection and feedback. We show different kind of interactions such as repulsion, annihilation, or formation of soliton bound states, depending on laser parameters. Collisions between single structures and bound states conserve momentum and charge.
