How to get Arc Emitters
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 40) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 technologies of the same area.

}Arc Emitters: questions
How do I get Arc Emitters in Stellaris?
Research Phase Disruptors first (5 technologies in the whole chain); then Arc Emitters can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.
What does Arc Emitters do?
It unlocks Arc Emitter (ship component), Lightning Emitter (ship component) and Arkship Arc Emitter Battery (starbase module). It leads to Focused Arc Emitters.
What is the ID of Arc Emitters?
The technology's ID is tech_arc_emitter_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_arc_emitter_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Arc Emitters cost?
10,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
