Surface bound states in the continuum

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2015-06-03 v1

Abstract

We introduce a novel concept of surface bound states in the continuum, i.e. surface modes embedded into the linear spectral band of a discrete lattice. We suggest an efficient method for creating such surface modes and the local bounded potential necessary to support such embedded modes. We demonstrate that the embedded modes are structural stable, and the position of their eigenvalues inside the spectral band can be tuned continuously by adding weak nonlinearity.
