Abstract
Optical lattices are ultracold samples of atoms localized by dipole fo rces inside optical standing waves. Probe transmission and reflection spectra of such atomic matter bound by light involve many unexpected s pectral features. This paper reviews our recent experimental results r egarding the formation and the spectroscopy of multidimensional optica l lattices and discusses the underlying physical mechanisms.
