Abstract
In this work, we numerically study how various input beam profiles influence the linear and nonlinear light propagation at the interface of two-dimensional (2D) binary waveguide arrays. It is revealed that, due to the presence of the central homogeneous interfaced waveguides, light beams are effectively steered into the preferred direction. Interestingly, the formation of discretely localized states in nonlinear modes can be intentionally utilized to optimize the stability and intensity of the signals at the central interfaced channels. This study thus opens alternative possibilities to achieve reliable distant beam propagation through discrete optical systems.
