Optical lattices are created to hold atoms in a periodic 2d structure via dispersive force.
The simplest realization of an optical lattice is a standing wave produced by two counter-propagating beams. The potential has the form:

Special optical lattices
Time-varying lattices
In some experiments it is required to modify lattice in time domain (see p 206 [2]). In order to create a time-varying potential two beams with slightly different frequencies are used (ω and δω). The frequency mismatch will lead to a potential:
One more realization are phase and amplitude modulated lattices.
Superlattice
Bloch group has a lattice with two periods and it is created by two lasers 767 and 2*767=1534 nm.
