Modulational Instability of Dipole-dipole BEC in an Optical Lattice
Lin Zhu
Abstract
From GP equation and discrete Schrdinger equation,the modulational instability of dipole Bose-Einstein Condensates(BEC) in an optical lattice is studied.The excitation spectrum of the dipole BEC in the optical lattice and the relation between the dipole-dipole interaction and the modulational instability are obtained.The results show that the influences of the dipoledipole interaction on the nonlinear excitation and stability of dipole BEC in the optical lattice are large.This can give us some useful information for manipulating dipole BECs in practice.
