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.
