Abstract: The effect of phase and intensity gradients on the motion of dissipative solitons in a nonlinear interferometer is investigated. We show how the forces exerted by parameter gradients on the solitons alter their interactions. Consequently, it is possible to tune the spectrum of soliton bound states via the introduction of proper spatial distribution of the system parameters. Furthermore, we show how the use of properly shaped parameter distributions can lead to a relevant reduction of the cross-talk between close by solitons in applications.
