Exactly, a laser pointer, while casting a millimeter-sized dot of light at short distances, its light easily gets meter-sized when they reach flight cruise heights, shining airplane’s cabins and interfering with the pilot’s vision.
However, as by inverse square law, the power is distributed across the beam.

So you’re saying a space orbiting death ray will cast an area large enough to generate solar power eh? HEY ELON!
On the contrary.
So a really big death ray? Perhaps some sort of doomsday device?
