Supercontinuum spectral intensity optimization for different wavelength pair combinations. a Examples of spectra obtained following simultaneous intensity maximization at two target wavelengths (blue shadings), using single pulse seeding (dashed black lines), or pulse-splitting optimizations (red lines—with up to 16 pulses). Note that we used here the same setup and power budget as in Fig. 3, and simply modified the algorithm optimization criteria (see Methods). b Optimization matrix for wavelength pair combinations, showing normalized intensity enhancement obtained for combinations of wavelength pairs. Such enhancement (see colour bar on the left axis) is calculated as the average intensity at both wavelengths and is normalized relatively to the single pulse seeding case (see Methods). For clarity, we only report results where the intensity at one wavelength is less than twice as large as the intensity at the other wavelength (see Supplementary Fig. 5, for a complete analysis)
