Abstract

The photo-induced dynamics of cold atoms in a one-dimensional optical superlattice is observed. Steady state distribution of the probability amplitudes and the site population in a one-dimensional optical superlattice is found. It is shown that this solution of the equations, which describes the temporal behavior of a Bose–Einstein condensate in a superlattice, is unstable at the sufficiently high level of boson density. The expression for the increment of modulational instability is obtained on the basis of the linear stability analysis. The numerical examples of non-stationary solutions for boson density in a superlattice for the general model are discussed as applied to both the attraction and repulsion potentials of boson interaction.
