We address the properties of two-dimensional surface solitons supported by the interface of a waveguide array whose nonlinearity is periodically modulated. When the nonlinearity strength reaches its minima at the points where the linear…

The resonances of forced dynamical systems occur when either the amplitude of the frequency response undergoes a local maximum (amplitude resonance) or phase lag quadrature takes places (phase resonance). This study focuses on the phase…
