Your Definition
A device using directed energy to initiate or trigger a larger reaction, process, or event—a ray that starts something rather than being the weapon itself. Ray igniters might trigger fusion in fuel pellets, ignite propellants in advanced engines, initiate chemical reactions in [industrial] processes, or—in speculative applications—trigger [explosives] or materials at a distance. The igniter concept separates the delivery mechanism (the ray) from the effect (what gets ignited), allowing for effects far beyond what the ray itself could produce. A small energy pulse, precisely delivered, can release vastly larger energies stored in the target. Ray igniters [represent] the difference between fighting with flashlights and fighting with kindling.
