Could it be that all light represents a macro effect of the Uncertainity Principle?

I found this on synchotron radiation:

An ultimate limit on the emittance arises from the uncertainty principle and a limit on the Beta
- function from synchrotron radiation in the final quadrupole (Oide limit).

[This goes beyond my uncertainity principle and is a Noidea Principle, since I no not what it means, but it's somethin'.]
