The target application for this seems to be high voltage isolation, and common mode leakage immunity. I could imagine this being used to power an active high voltage probe.

THIS.

And in that use case...~1.5W of laser energy would probably be way, way down the list of hazards.

It could be used to power a LOT of sensitive test instruments.
