We introduce a method for the coherent acceleration of atoms trapped in an optical lattice, using the well-known model for stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP). Specifically, we show that small harmonic modulations of the optical lattice amplitude, with frequencies tuned to the eigenvalue spacings of three "unperturbed" eigenstates, reveals a three-state STIRAP subsystem. We use this model to realize an experimentally achievable method for transferring trapped atoms from stationary to motional eigenstates.
