Light amplification device (5)

I believe the answer is:

laser

(Other definitions for laser that I've seen before include "Optical device producing an intense beam of light" , "Coherent light beam" , "Device yielding powerful beam" , "Device for concentrating light" , "Device that generates an intense beam of light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
