laser beam

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'high-energy light' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'meal prepared to entertain a european' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'to entertain' indicates putting letters inside.
'european' becomes 'serb' (person from Serbia).
'meal' anagrammed gives 'leam'.
'a'+'serb'='aserb'
'leam' enclosing 'aserb' is 'LASER BEAM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for laser beam that I've seen before include "Intense ray of light" , "penetrating light" , "Shaft of light or electromagnetic radiation" , "Shaft of light or electro-mechanic radiation" , "Column of intensified light" .)
