Abstract

We study soliton interactions in the highly-nonlocal thermal nonlinearity, demonstrating that solitons propagating in different samples, connected by metal-foils, attract one another. We demonstrate 3D-interactions between widely-separated solitons, which spiral about each other from afar.
