Abstract
The connection between Rayleigh scattering and atomic dynamics in dissipative optical lattices was investigated. It was shown that this relation was actually not satisfied by independent measurements/calculations of the width of the resonance and the diffusion coefficients. The results showed that the narrow Rayleigh resonance originated from the atomic velocity damping.
