I would think the technology that's used in some binoculars
and cameras to stabilize the image would work well in keeping
the beams aimed right on; this could reduce the necessary
intensity couldn't it?

What I'm referring to is where they put a high index of
refraction liquid between two plates, some servo then
squeezes the plates at one edge or the other to deviate the
optical path. A very small version of this would have a
short time constant.

They must be doing something like this, I'd see no way the beams
orientation could be stable enough in practice otherwise.
