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 by a continuous wave at 1070 nm and narrowed by ～100 nm when seeded at 1080 nm. The influence is enhanced by increasing the average seeded power.展开更多
