Editing Laser pump

{{merge|with [[Laser generator]]}}

The '''laser pump''' is a vital component of a [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]]'s laser guns. During combat, it appears that the laser pump may be capable of jamming.

During a simulated flight, [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] tells [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]] that his laser pump is jammed and that she would have to dispatch the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS)|Raider]] ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I]]).

* This is likely a reference to real-life [[w:Laser_pumping|Laser pumping]]; the process of transfering energy into a gain medium to increase the energy states of its valence electrons and thus enabling further photon production.
