phasern.

Brit.

/ˈfeɪzə/, U.S.

/ˈfeɪzər/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: phase v., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < phase v. + -er suffix¹. In sense 2 after laser n.²

1. A device for changing or controlling the phase of an oscillation or waveform; a phase shifter.

1945 Electronics Mar. 129/1 The phaser used is made up of a variable length of coaxial line folded back on itself.

1953 R. A. Heinlein Starman Jones vi. 67 They were a little slow synchronizing the field—or else this bucket of bolts has an unbalanced phaser.

1969 Ultrasonics 7 230/1 Reciprocal phasers may be feasible with piezoelectric transmission lines, since the phase velocity of sound in piezoelectrics is related to the sense and to the direction of the electric stress.

1976 Aviation Week & Space Technol. 12 Apr. 50/1 Radio frequency energy is divided into 10 signals, fed into ferrite phasers controlled by [an] electronic beam forming unit before being radiated.

2. Science Fiction. A weapon producing destructive laser or similar beams (of variable phase); spec. a (usually hand-held) device whose output can be varied to produce different effects on a target (as stunning, annihilation, etc.). Also in extended use and in figurative context.First used in the U.S. television series Star Trek.

1966 G. Roddenberry Memo 26 Apr. in S. E. Whitfield & G. Roddenberry Making of ‘Star Trek’ iii. i. 272 Reference the mating of various components of the phaser weapons..when the hand phaser is mated to the pistol, they should appear as one weapon.

1967 Pop. Sci. Dec. 73/2 The main weaponry of the Enterprise is its banks of ‘ship's phasers’,—artillery-size versions of the hand phasers and phaser pistols carried by the crew. These weapons are, of course, refinements of today's familiar lasers.

1978 D. Bloodworth Crosstalk xxxiii. 256 The USAAF had brought down the first unmanned plane with a laser, and..had..been thinking in terms of light, chemically-operated versions that could be phased together... ‘Phasers?’ ‘Phasers. Right.’

1984 D. Duane My Enemy, my Ally vi. 85 Mr. Chekov, arm photon torpedoes, prepare to lock phasers on for firing.

1995 THIS Mag. July 21/2 His oddly reserved nature stands out... Whyte sets his phaser on stun, not kill. In print and in person, he usually gives a nod to his opponents before letting fly.

2000 Personal Computer World Dec. 481/2 The phaser rifle..easily vaporises most opponents in a spectacular orange echoey screaming fashion with a single shot.

3. Electronics and Music. A device which alters a sound signal by phasing (phasing n. 1c). Also: a flanger.
