Laser

A laser was, in a description posited by Leela and approved by the Fourth Doctor, a very powerful light. (TV: Horror of Fang Rock) Many lasers were harmless and used in some games (TV: Warriors of Kudlak), but other lasers were used as deadly weapons. During their campaign to recruit warriors, the Uvodni utilised harmless laser weapons in their interactive laser-tag game Combat 3000. However, on board their ship, the Kudlak warriors carried deadly blaster rifles that fired a yellow laser burst.

Some weapons, such as Sontaran lasers, were called "lasers" despite travelling slower than light. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem). Lasers could also be used for a defensive purpose, as when the Tenth Doctor, Donna and Jenny came across a grid of heat rays in one of the tunnels underneath Messaline. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter)

Lasers were employed for medical purposes, in surgery, such as in laser scalpels (TV: Mindwarp) and laser saws. (TV: Day One)
