Tiny Lasers An Improvement?

This made me think of the article from NPR about the breakthrough (kind of) for tiny lasers:

"They made a plasmon laser out of a bead of gold that's so small you can't even see it under a regular microscope ? it's just 44 nanometers across.

"For comparison, the thickness of a human hair is 50 micrometers. So our device is about a thousand times smaller than that," Noginov says."

Maybe once the tiny lasers are developed it would be a new way to handle the process.
