The surface solitons can be well controlled by different experimental parameters, such as probe frequency, pump powers, beam incident angles, and affected by coherent induced defect state. PACS numbers: 42.65.Tg, 42.65.Jx, 42.65.Sf, 42.50.Gy When multiple laser beams propagate in a Kerr-type nonlinear medium, optical solitons or modulation instabilities can occur [1-4]. As the localized modes propagate at the interface between two media with different properties, surface waves could
