TL;DR
This paper reports the experimental observation of surface solitons in chirped waveguide arrays, demonstrating how the array's chirp influences the formation and properties of these localized surface modes.

It introduces the observation of surface solitons in chirped waveguide arrays and analyzes how chirp affects their power threshold and mode support.
Findings
Power threshold decreases with increasing chirp
Linear surface modes are supported at large chirp values
Surface solitons are observed in chirped arrays
Abstract
We report the observation of surface solitons in chirped semi-infinite waveguide arrays whose waveguides exhibit exponentially decreasing refractive indices. We show that the power threshold for surface wave formation decreases with an increase of the array chirp and that for sufficiently large chirp values linear surface modes are supported.
