    "abstract": "We predict theoretically that surface of an optical lattice imprinted in\ndefocusing nonlinear media can support shock, or kink waves. Such new surface\nwaves contain a modulationally stable pedestal and are strongly localized at\nthe edge of the optical lattice due to Bragg-type reflection. The kink\nsteepness and localization degree can be controlled by the lattice depth. We\nfound two types of kinks, which exhibit distinct stability properties for each\nfinite gap in the lattice spectrum. Our findings open the way to experimental\nobservation of optical surface kink waves.",
