The Mach-Zehnder Interferometer: A Smart Remote Experiment Based on a Software Template
Résumé
Hands-on laboratory sessions are one of the pillars
of science and engineering education. It is reputed that institutions
find it difficult to provide enough laboratory setups that
cover all taught scientific topics due to logistical and budgetary
limitations. With the recent advances in web technologies enabling
real-time interaction, remotely accessing physical devices
became possible, and so the rise of remote experimentation as
a solution to the mentioned limitations. The development and
deployment of remote laboratories is still a tedious process for
lab providers, given the need to write new applications for each
new lab. In this paper, we propose a software template for lab
providers that will alleviate some of their concerns by following
the Smart Device Paradigm and Specifications and abiding to
software engineering rules to produce a reusable and flexible
solution. We will show how this in-progress template can be used
for implementing a remote Mach-Zehnder Interferometer.
