Recently a graphene manufacturing process has been discovered that involved taking sheets of a high carbon wood (elm iirc) and shining a laser at it inside an argon atmosphere to make a surface layer of graphene. When I first heard about it I thought of this use case and couldn't help but wonder if the technique might work with IPL or some other generalized light source with a longer illumination period. It would be cool to find out.
