> precisely adjusting laser light to the energy levels of particular bonds / electrons.

However, the article is talking about discrete wavelengths. The device gives you a choice between a bunch of different fixed wavelengths.

It isn't actually tunable to specific frequencies.

We can tune them slightly with differences in temperature if I recall correctly, but there are limited uses for a few nanometers up or down in wavelength. If there's now a versatile multi wavelength generator for numerous specific discrete frequencies, you may be able to just cool it down to access nearby bands.
