The Gravity wave detectors use very powerful lasers. Since they are fired through a vacuum there is no concern about the beam getting distorted by air.

Astronomers have been using lasers to get very clear pictures. They shoot out a beam and the resulting distortion is filmed and relayed to a computer which uses computer controlled pistons to distort a mirrored surface to counteract the atmospheric distortions. Obviously such technology could be used to make a beam tightly focused on a target.

The combined systems . . . with the creativity and mad inventions of bureaucrats and computer programming . . . are proving to be maintenance problems.
