  1. \(P_{sat}\) and \(\eta \) values are calculated by fitting the theoretical formula for Fluorescence Rate versus Laser Power to the experimental data29,30,31. A clear drop in saturation power is observed after ADAM and MLOOP optimization of individual electrodes indicating a reduction of the micromotion.
