| - A phaser emitter is a range of phaser weapons usually installed on Federation Starfleet spacecraft and space stations. Phaser emitters can be installed either as single units in shuttlecraft, or in phaser turrets, banks of two, or arrays forming long strips in starships and stations. (TOS episode: "Arena", TNG episode: "The Outcast", DS9 reference: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual)
- From 2245 to 2270, ship-mounted phaser emitters were built into the hulls of Starfleet vessels and were operated from a control room by a small crew as a backup to bridge control. (TOS: "Balance of Terror" ) In the 2270s, phaser emitter designs had improved and the new design routed power directly from the warp engines, which increased their effectiveness and strength. The only drawback was that if an antimatter imbalance occurred, the phasers would be automatically cut off. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

| - From 2245 to 2270, ship-mounted phaser emitters were built into the hulls of Starfleet vessels and were operated from a control room by a small crew as a backup to bridge control. (TOS: "Balance of Terror" ) In the 2270s, phaser emitter designs had improved and the new design routed power directly from the warp engines, which increased their effectiveness and strength. The only drawback was that if an antimatter imbalance occurred, the phasers would be automatically cut off. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) Ship-mounted emitters were typically arranged into phaser banks. The normal arrangement was one or two emitters to a bank. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) Phaser banks and their emitters were later replaced by phaser arrays in the 24th century on more modern starships. Smaller vessels such as shuttlecraft and Maquis fighters continued to use phaser emitters, however. (TNG: "The Outcast" , "Preemptive Strike" ) According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, phaser arrays such as the dorsal saucer section array of a Galaxy-class starship consisted of two hundred emitter segments. In 2372, the deflector of the USS Defiant was modified to perform as a single-shot phaser emitter when the ship was under attack from a Jem'Hadar attack ship in the atmosphere of a class J gas giant. (DS9: "Starship Down") In 2375, Nog, acting as a representative of Miles O'Brien, bought a phaser emitter from the USS Musashi in a convoluted trade that also involved the USS Sentinel, in order to eventually acquire a graviton stabilizer. (DS9: "Treachery, Faith and the Great River")
