    Abstract

    We predict that truncated but otherwise perfect modulated photonic lattices can support a novel type of generic surface states, which are fundamentally different from the previously studied Tamm or Shockley type surface waves, and present the first experimental observation of such defect-free surface waves in laser-written waveguide arrays.
