Abstract

Effects of random depth optical lattice (OL) on vortices in Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) are studied. By numerically solving Gross–Pitaevskii equation for rotating BECs, we analyzed the property of a single vortex (slow rotating) and vortex lattice structures (fast rotating) in the presence of random depth optical lattice. It is shown that similar to speckle disorder and bichromatic optical lattice pseudorandom potential, random depth optical lattice can also localize a singe vortex. Random depth OL can melt square vortex lattice, while speckle or bichromatic OL disorder can melt triangular vortex lattice. We also show that random depth OL disorder can induce larger angular momentum.
