23. The same reasoning also holds if the distribution is nonthermal but (Formula presented) is small compared to (Formula presented) The Debye-Waller factor can then be written as (Formula presented) with W given by Eq. (4).

41. The distances between the curved mirrors have been adjusted such that the focus is the same in the sagittal and in the tangential plane yielding a round output beam.

45. The assumption, that the spatial distribution of atoms in our optical lattice is Gaussian, seems well justified, since the lattice is loaded from a conventional MOT and hence the spatial distribution in the lattice should reflect the spatial distribution in the MOT.
46. Changing (Formula presented) along the lattice plane does to lowest order not change the diffracted power.
