Role of two-photon absorption (TPA) effect on light propagation in one-dimensional nonlinear waveguide array (NWA) is studied numerically with solving nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Our investigation includes unperturbed, diagonally and off-diagonally disordered NWA with inclusion of Kerr and TPA and the results are compared with each other. The simulations show that the increase of incident wave amplitude to NWA intensifies TPA and Kerr effects and these nonlinear optical effects, dramatically affect the output intensity profile and loss. Variations of intensity distribution in periodic NWA is about two and three times higher than in off-diagonal and diagonal disordered NWA, respectively. It means that localization of light in periodic NWA is more tunable than disordered lattices. These variations of intensity distribution under nonlinear optical effects enable us to propose and design a reconfigurable localization and diffraction-engineered discrete soliton.
