It has a lot of value.

Firstly, we use lasers to measure chemical reactions, this one could increase resolution and potentially be used to trigger or shape the reaction.

Secondly, it could be a path towards laser-induced fusion which is kind of important.

Finally, modrrn chips are fabricated using something called an extreme-UV process, that uses sputtered tin hit with a multiple precision laser pulses. This could be used to refine that process further.
