We present a detailed description of measurements performed with a novel double optical lattice setup. In this we trap two different cesium hyperfine ground states in separate periodic potentials. A detailed account of the technical solutions and its foundations are given. We demonstrate the possibility to modulate the relative spatial position of the lattices and perform a series of systematic measurements in order to investigate the static and dynamic properties of the double optical lattice system.
