Emitting media? MegaPOV Glows?
Those are the two options which spring to mind immediately.

MegaPOV (see www.povray.org, in the links section, somewhere under
'patches' or something like that), photons (see the MegaPOV docs), and media
(see either official POV or MegaPOV docs)...

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 }}
