title: New all-optical switch based on the spatial soliton repulsion.
abstract: We propose an all-optical switching device based on the interaction property between optical spatial solitons. By launching the nonlinear symmetric modes for the relative phase relation pi into the uniform nonlinear medium, the repulsive property between spatial solitons will be observed. Based on the repulsive property, a new all-optical switching device will be proposed.
