Put a cylinder around the laser with the same start and end points, but
a radius about 2 or 3 times the laser beam's cylinder, with the same
color as the beam, but add   "transmit .9"

eg.

// beam
cylinder{ <0,5,0> <0,5,100> .1 pigment{ Red } }

// glow
cylinder{ <0,5,0><0,5,100> .3 pigment{ Red transmit .9 }}
