Light is immensely useful because of the insight it provides when utilized to visualize chemical, physical and biological processes. Laser-generated light, on the other hand, enables much more than vision. It can be used as a tool to probe the innermost workings of matter, to manipulate it and to even generate new states of matter. Laser-generated light also possesses properties by which its quantum mechanical properties can be utilized to enable fundamentally secure cryptography (quantum cryptography) and more powerful imaging techniques, only to name a few.

光是非常有用的，因为它提供了洞察力，当被用来可视化化学，物理和生物过程。激光产生的光，另一方面，使更多的视觉。它可以作为一种工具来探测物质的内部运作，操纵它，甚至产生新的物质状态。激光产生的光还具有这样的性质，通过这些性质，其量子力学性质可以用于实现基本安全的密码学（量子密码学）和更强大的成像技术，仅举几例。
