Abstract: We describe the pump-probe spectroscopy of atoms cooled in a 3D lin⊥lin optical lattice. Our pump-probe configuration consists of two laser fields detuned with respect to the lattice fields. This scheme allows to clearly identify in the probe transmission spectrum the Brillouin and Raman resonances, by studying their positions as functions of the angle between the pump and probe beams. We describe these resonances in detail, and compare the experimental results to the theoretical predictions. Our conclusions are supported by transport-spectroscopy measurements, which allow to distinguish between contributions to the light scattering from propagating and non-propagating atoms.
