title: Surface solitons supported by Bessel optical potential.
abstract: A simple but new model, an interface separated by 1-D Bessel optical potential with different modulation depth on the opposite side of the interface was proposed. We show this model can support stable surface solitons. Surface solitons form because diffraction and defocusing nonlinearity are balanced by the Bessel potential. We demonstrate numerically such solitons are stable in their entire existence domain even for higher-order Bessel potential.
