Matterwaves inside periodic potentials are well known from solid-state physics,where electrons interacting with a crystal lattice are considered. AtomicBose-Einstein condensates inside light-induced periodic potentials (optical lattices) share manyfeatures with electrons in solids, but also with light wavesin nonlinear materials and other nonlinear systems. Generally, atom-atom interactionsin Bose-Einstein condensates lead to rich and interesting nonlinear effects.Furthermore, the experimental control over the parameters of the periodicpotential and the condensate make it possible to enter regimesinaccessible in other systems. In this review, an introduction tothe physics of ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices isgiven and an overview of the theoretical and experimental advancesto date.
