laser sword

Glowing energy weapon

A laser sword is a sword-shaped weapon with a blade made of focused light or energy rather than metal.

The term appears in science fiction, most notably as an alternate name for lightsabers in Star Wars.

Outside that universe, laser sword serves as a generic term for similar fictional weapons: The hero ignited his laser sword and charged into battle.
