Suppression of Faraday waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of an optical lattice

P. Capuzzi, M. Gattobigio, Patrizia Vignolo

We study the formation of Faraday waves in an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a one-dimensional optical lattice. The waves are parametrically excited by modulating the radial confinement of the condensate close to a transverse breathing mode of the system. For very shallow optical lattices, phonons with a well-defined wave vector propagate along the condensate, as in the absence of the lattice, and we observe the formation of a Faraday pattern. We find that by increasing the potential depth the local sound velocity decreases, and when it equals the condensate local phase velocity, the condensate develops an incoherent superposition of several modes and the parametric excitation of Faraday waves is suppressed.

Longitudinal sound mode of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice

J.-P. Martikainen, Henk T. C. Stoof

We examine the effect of the transverse breathing mode on the longitudinal sound propagation in a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional optical lattice. In particular, we discuss how the coupling with the transverse breathing mode influences the sound velocity in an optical lattice. Using a variational approach we calculate the dispersion relations for the longitudinal sound mode and the transverse breathing mode analytically, and find that the shift in the sound velocity from the uncoupled result can be large enough to be experimentally relevant. We also find that the effective mass of the transverse breathing mode is affected considerably by the coupling to longitudinal sound.

Bogoliubov speed of sound for a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate in a 3d optical lattice

D Boers, Christoph Weiß, Martin Holthaus

We point out that the velocity of propagation of sound wavepackets in a Bose-Einstein condensate filling a three-dimensional cubic optical lattice undergoes a maximum with increasing lattice depth. For a realistic choice of parameters, the maximum sound velocity in a lattice condensate can exceed the sound velocity in a homogeneous condensate with the same average density by 30%. The maximum falls into the superfluid regime, and should be observable under currently achievable laboratory conditions.
