Envelope electromagnetic solitary wave formation in ultra-intense laser plasma interactions has been a topic of fundamental research interest and is gaining much attention from practical point of view as well, especially for their relevance in present day charged particle acceleration schemes. The interaction properties of these electromagnetic solitary waves are of utmost importance as they decide the solitonic nature of these coherent structures. We present our recent numerical results, with some physical understanding, on the mutual interaction of such coupled laser-plasma modes.
