Two intersecting laser beams can produce a spatially-periodic coupling between two components of an atomic gas and thereby modify the dispersion relation of the gas according to a dressed-state formalism. Properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate of such a gas are strongly affected by this modification. A Bogoliubov transformation is presented which accounts for interparticle interactions to obtain the quasiparticle excitation spectrum in such a condensate. The Landau critical velocity is found to be anisotropic and can be widely tuned by varying properties of the dressing laser beams.
