Abstract
We have observed novel resonances occuring at subharmonic frequencies in probe transmission spectra of ultracold atoms confined in the antinodes of a 3D optical standing wave by means of dipole forces. We interpret these resonances in terms of multiphoton Raman transitions between vibrational states of the trapped atoms.Keywords
