We designed and generated gradient photonic moiré lattice fields comprising three varying periodic moiré wavefields. Because of the common twisted angles between periodic triangular and hexagonal moiré wavefields, gradient patterns can be easily obtained through coherent superposition of hexagonal-triangular-hexagonal photonic moiré lattice fields. In addition, two specific twisted angles of Δα|C=3 and Δα|C=5 are proposed, which not only guarantee the periodicity of moiré fields but also provide an additional degree of freedom to control the structural arrangement of the gradient photonic moiré lattice fields. Further study reveals the non-diffracting character of the gradient photonic moiré lattice field generated using the holographic method. This study proposes an easy way to generate and control the structures of gradient moiré lattice fields that can be used to fabricate photonic lattices in optical storage media for light modulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
