Abstract
Nonresonant interaction of an optical lattice created by two counterpropagating laser fields with gas molecules is studied with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. Energy and momentum deposition from lattice to gas in the collision regime are examined and the ability of a lattice to increase gas temperature to thousands of kelvins in a single pulse is shown.
