Laser technology allows research into the laser based weapon systems used by a number of defensive structures and ships. This technology is also a necessity for expansion into ion and plasma based weapon systems.
Researching Laser Technology beyond level 12 gives no bonus (Defense laser bonus attack based only "weapons technology")
Description 
Edit
In physics, a laser is a device that emits light through a specific mechanism for which the term laser is an acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers have many uses to the empire, from upgrading computer communications systems to the creation of newer weapons and space ships.
