Abstract :
We present results concerning the transmission and the scattering of a probe beam in optical lattices. We have observed stimulated Raman and Rayleigh gains as large as 70% for a 1 mm3 lattice and the occurence of diffraction in the Bragg directions. We discuss the relation between Bragg diffraction and four-wave mixing
