abstract = {In this work, we demonstrate a novel electro-optic platform for
study of nonlinear light propagation in re-configurable periodic
potentials. On the base of this platform, we predict
theoretically a novel types of interface solitons existing at the
interfaces between chirped and homogeneous lattices. Our platform
consists of an array of close coupled waveguides in a x-cut
LiNbO3 crystal, where on both sides of each waveguides we have
placed biased electrodes that can control the local refractive
index of the waveguide. While in general each waveguide of the
array can be independently tuned, in the particular realisation,
we have split the array of 100 waveguides in half. In the left
half, the waveguides are tuned in the same way, while in the
right-hand side of the array, the refractive index is increased
linearly with the waveguide number.}
