Perhaps, but imagine for a moment that the beam
can be translated and well as focused. Then it's
doesn't really matter...
Take for example all the energy of a 250 watts light bulb and focus it into say a some extremely narrow band. It's quite reasonable to get enough energy to be able blast things...
Not only that, but we know that such a narrow band
can be used to disable equipment as well as people
by over loading them with the resulting narrow band pulse or beam...

Well, with such a frequency translator, we can all imagine all the goodies and baddies that can be made with it. One of them is a cloaking devices, efficient power sources, phase weapons... Imagine changing harmless light from light bulbs into a focused gamma rays or worse !
