I know that a 10 mw green laser beam can be seen with the naked eye in dark conditions. i own a 10mw green laser show and i can still see the beam even when its doing the patterns. try ebay they sell green lasers from as low as $10!

Of course, you could also rely on an effect known as "blooming" for your laser to show on a clean atmosphere.

Of course, at that power density (~1 MW/cm²), you really don't need an alarm system since the ray will certainly burn through any unwanted visitors ;-)
