Abstract General synchronization of the chaotic intensity fluctuations of two spatially coupled Nd:YAG lasers with pump modulation is investigated theoretically when the losses of the two lasers are different. It is shown that the chaotic synchronization still exists for medium coupling even though the two lasers are different. For strong coupling the system shows periodic motion of laser intensities. While for weak coupling, the two lasers oscillate independently. It is obvious that the increase of difference between the two lasers reduces the degree of chaotic synchronization.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
