Abstract We experimentally investigate the spectral details of picosecond supercontinuum pumped at 1064 nm and seeded by a weak continuous wave (~20000 times weaker than the pulse peak power) at several power levels in photonic crystal fibers. Seeding at different wavelengths leads to different spectral details, and the effects to the bandwidth of supercontinuum are also distinct. Spectra can be widened when seeded a continuous wave at 1070 nm, and be narrowed for ~100 nm when seeded at 1080 nm. The influence is enhanced with increasing seeded average power.

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.
