Abstract
We present an experimental observation of Klein tunneling of light waves in lattices of evanescently coupled waveguides with a superimposed potential step. The incident wave packet "mass" which is a characteristic feature of Klein tunneling is generated by a minigap in the band structure of the lattice. We studied different masses and measured the tunneling rates across the potential step.
