You may be thinking of beam directors, rather than the lasers themselves, aside from turning them on and off as desired. Solid state lasers are good, if they have the power you need (and yes, understand and practice laser safety)

The rest would be beam steering. Geometric optics and servos. I remember reading some on scanner optics, which would help you. Just think angles instead of UPC codes.

Programming the servo's would please you, but you first need the beam steering gear, and also the on/off, and interfaces for both aspects.

I don't know of any OTC/KISS stuff.
