Article Synopsis
- A remote interface was developed to control and optimize the production of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) using two methods: a theoretical algorithm (RedCRAB) and a gamified platform involving 600 citizen scientists.
- Participants engaged in both local and global search strategies, benefiting from a mix of high-performing and low-performing players to avoid getting stuck on suboptimal solutions.
- The study shows that citizen scientists can effectively tackle abstract problem representations, suggesting that gamification could be applied to a broader array of scientific challenges.
We present a method for determining the three-dimensional intensity distribution of directed laser radiation with micrometer resolution in restricted volumes. Our method is based on the incoupling and guiding properties of optical fibers, with the current version requiring only a few hundred micrometers across the measuring volume. We characterize the performance of the method and experimentally demonstrate profiling of micrometer-sized laser beams.
