| contents | The Moiré superlattice has attracted growing interest in the electromagnetic and optical communities. Here, we extend this concept to time-varying photonic systems by superposing two binary modulations on the refractive index with different modulation periods, i.e., the Moiré photonic time crystal (PTC). Such a Moiré PTC leads to extreme narrow bands in momentum space which supports temporal localized modes, exhibiting periodically self-reconstructing pulse in time domain. We investigate how the modulation parameters change the bandstructure of the Moiré PTC and the temporal localization behavior. Moreover, we explore mode-locking mechanism in frequency space in the Moiré PTC, which points towards potential applications in mode-locked lasers with tunable time width of the emitted pulses. Our work therefore extends the study of PTC to complex modulation patterns, and unveils new possibility in wave manipulation with time-varying systems. |
