A tiny ultrabright laser that can melt steel
Keep in mind that is the constant (average) power. Assuming this is a Q-switched laser with ~10 ns pulse duration, peak power is ~70 kW. (Kind of low as far as lasers go these days, but it's just a laser marker)

Answering generally I would say yes, they are one of the common types of lasers that could be chosen depending on the application
