Thanks for looking it up!
Since I am more familiar with rockets than with lasers, my first association with 'TEA' was 'triethylaluminum' [0] which can be used to ignite rocket engines. See also [1].
Now that we know what to look for, it does state that but it is a few paragraphs (too far) into the text:
If I understand it right, TEA stands for Transverse Excitation at Atmospheric pressure.
Writing a name out in full when using it for the first time and denoting the abbreviation that will be used further in the text might be a good idea in general.
