Mode mixing formalism is applied to the fluctuation modes around soliton configurations for the purpose of looking at possible multiple productions of fluctuation quanta in the soliton collision process. It is shown, however, that mixing among positive and negative frequency parts cannot occur if the theory admits the inverse method of Lax. In that case the soliton scatterings proceed without quantum disturbances.
