We discuss the expansion dynamics under mean-field repulsion of an array of 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensates produced in an all-optical scheme involving 1D lattice with nearly 105 atoms, after fast evaporative cooling of just about 1 s. Single site occupation exceeds 2 × 104 in our experiments. The possibility of transition to two-dimensionality was also investigated. The expansion behavior of the high...
