Abstract We study supercontinuum generation (SC) in graphene-covered nanowires based on a generic model that correctly accounts for the evolution of the photon number under Kerr and two-photon absorption processes, and the influence of graphene is treated within the framework of saturable photoexcited-carrier refraction. We discuss the role of the various effects on the generation of supercontinuum by a thorough analysis of short-pulse propagation in two different kinds of graphene-covered nanowires, one made of silicon nitride and the other made of silicon. Finally, we discuss the effect of stacking graphene layers as a means to enhance SC generation with pulse powers compatible with those in integrated optical devices.

Two-photon absorption in volume-absorbing materials may be significant for high-power, short-pulse excimer laser irradiation. In the present work, the effects of two-photon absorption on the laser intensity propagation and the penetration depth are investigated. The temperature history of a glass plate during pulsed ultraviolet (UV) laser heating is predicted. The results show that the two-photon absorption can compress the volume-absorbing effect to surface absorption and increase the peak temperature on the glass surface. This will reduce the damage threshold, increase the energy loss, and reduce the accuracy of pulsed-laser calorimeters.
