Laser (Cancer)

A medical instrument that produces a powerful beam of light and can produce intense heat when focused at close range. Lasers are often used in surgery to vaporize damaged cell tissue.

Laser (Concert Lighting)

A device which produces pencil thin beams of coherent monochromatic light. Used primarily for special effects, lasers combined with beam splitters, scanners, and mirrors can be used to create a variety of three-dimensional images in fog or similar atmosphere. A laser and scanning system connected to a computer controller can be used to project complex animation effects.

Laser (Day Spa)

Acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission or Radiation; produces a concentrated beam of light that can dissolve tissue and is used in surgery and hair removal, especially on small or tender areas.

Laser (Derivatives)

Paribas Capital Markets' Liquid Asset Swap with Enhanced Return. A kind of SPV (q.v.) that Moody's rated A1. The initial US dollar one-year issue contained a repackaged Swiss franc private placement priced at six-month Libor plus 25bp. In the event of a failure of the Laser security, holders receive the underlying coupon and principal payments.

Laser (Ear Surgery)

An acronym of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A surgical tool that creates intense heat and power when focused at close range, destroying cells by vaporizing them.

Laser (Energy)

A very intense, uniform beam of electromagnetic radiation. Acronym for Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation.

Laser (Explosives)

An acronym for Light Amplification By Stimulated Emission Of Radiation. Laser is made up of light waves that are nearly parallel to each other, all traveling in the same direction. Lasers emit beams of coherent light of a single color or wave length and frequency.

Laser (Eye Surgery)

An acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A medical instrument that produces a powerful beam of light and can produce intense heat or cool vaporization when focused at close range. Lasers are often used in surgery to remove tissue.

Laser (Fiber Optics)

A device that generates a coherent beam of light all in phase and of a single (or nearly single) wavelength. A cavity with mirrors at each end causes a chain reaction that stimulates the emission of photons. See laser.

Laser (Health)

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation; device that produces light in a coherent, intense beam

Laser (Lymphoma)

An intensely powerful beam of light that is used in surgery, to diagnose disease, and in cancer therapy.

Laser (Nutrition)

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. An instrument that focuses highly amplified light waves. Lasers are used in surgical procedures, especially eye surgery.

Laser (Pituitary)

An acronym of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A surgical tool that creates intense heat and power when focused at close range, destroying cells by vaporizing them.

Laser (Satellite Meteorology Acronyms)

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Laser (Soccer)

A very hard-hit shot

Laser (Technology)

or LASER n. Acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A device that uses certain quantum effects to produce coherent light, which travels with greater efficiency than noncoherent light because the beam diverges only slightly as it travels. Lasers are used in computer technology to transmit data through fiber-optic cables, to read and write data on CD-ROMs, and to place an image on a photosensitive drum in laser printers.

Laser (Video Projector)

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, often used for laser pointers.
