In this paper, we study the Gross–Pitaevskii energy of a Bose–Einstein condensate in the presence of an optical lattice, modeled by a periodic potential V(x3) in the third direction. We study a simple case where the wells of the potential V correspond to regions where V vanishes, and are separated by small intervals of size δ where V is large. According to the intensity of V, we determine the limiting energy as δ tends to 0. In the critical case, the periodic potential approaches a sum of delta functions and the limiting energy has a contribution due to the value of the wave function between the wells. The proof relies on Gamma convergence type techniques.
