| abstract | - A LASER (Light Amplified by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is a coherent beam of light radiation. Light of a specific wavelength is amplified and "bounces" off a series of mirrors inside the laser through a "gain medium", until a portion of the light is passed through the laser and is directed as a beam outward. Lasers have been used to store optical data (such as that on a CD). The Allies, Yuri's army and, prominently, the Empire of the Rising Sun has another use for laser technology: weaponry. They, to this end, have used lasers for military purposes, such as, for example, targeting or direct destruction.
