Experimental measurements about photorefractive (PR) collisions between self-trapped beams in iron doped Indium phosphide (Fe:InP) are reported. Fusion and repulsion between two copropagating parallel beams with λ=1064nm will be analysed taking into account the effects of temperature, light intensity and external electric field on the trapping processes.
