Lasers use the same frequencies as the sun. Coherent energy is not the same as radiant, incoherent energy.

I think you're treating the word radiant to mean incoherent and isotopic. Radiant could mean that, or it could mean directional or coherent. It just means something radiates (IE transmits photons).

Radiant also means directional or omnidirectional and has nothing to do with photos. In either case, it does not imply coherent energy. Thus the reason it's applied.

It's an umbrella term. A lightbulb is radiant, isotopic, and incoherent. A laser is radiant, directional, and coherent.
