Time modulation produces flat dispersion bands at frequencies that are multiple integers of half the modulation frequency. These flat bands lead to the selective reflection of a broadband incident wave at the interface between a non-modulated medium, and one with time-modulated stiffness properties. This results from the vanishing group velocity at the flat band frequencies, which prevents their propagation into the modulated domain.
