The periodic modulation of certain parameters in optical lattice experiments opens interesting possibilities for the control and engineering of lattice gases. Periodically modulated interactions result in a non-linear hopping rate depending on the occupation differences at neighbouring sites [1]. In this way some type of correlated-hopping models [2] as well as dynamical synthetic gauge fields [3] can be engineered. We show how the combined periodic modulation of optical lattices and interactions may be used to realize a very broad class of correlated-hopping Hubbard models for ultracold fermions and bosons. We study the rich physics of this scenario, including pair-superfluidity, dimerized phases as well as exotic Mott-insulator states with a non-vanishing string-order. We also address different aspects of the experimental preparation, stability and detection.
