A X-ray laser was a type of weapon that used X-rays in a stimulated emission, much like a laser weapon. X-ray lasers were used by the Talarian Republic in the 24th century. (TNG: "Suddenly Human")
The U'lanna used dozens of X-ray lasers on some capital ships, including the U'lanna galleon, most of them mounted on a broadside, with a couple of chase guns that are turret-mounted. However, U'lanna X-ray lasers had poor hull penetration capability. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "For a New World")
