Abstract
By the numerical simulation of the dynamics of the optical circularly polarized field in the Kerr-type medium, it has been shown that the binary collisions between wave solitons consisting of a few field oscillation cycles with respect to their energy characteristics exhibit the properties of the collisions of Schrödinger solitons. The corresponding spectral characteristics change according to the conservation of the soliton-like structure of the envelop. In dependence on the absolute difference of the field phases, there are three different interaction regimes: the passage of one structure through another, their repulsion, and the exact replication of one initial wave structure by another.
