Light in a CD player (5)

I believe the answer is:

laser

(Other definitions for laser that I've seen before include "Generator of beam" , "Device for concentrating light" , "Coherent light-beam" , "Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation" , "Device producing a narrow, intense beam of light" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
