do you mean the "geometry" of the beam or the rendered effect?

there is the >bounce< command in rhino which extends a line over N reflections after hitting a surface.

you could use this to "build" the beam...

rendering itself i would just use a emitter material with some opacity map, propably stretched over the long u/v side of the surface created from the bounce line.. maybe a small pipe.
