However, this is a dangerous illusion. A person can think their laser beam can’t reach an aircraft, since the beam looks “short”. They are of course mistaken.Light from a laser does not stop in mid-air, but continues going. A pilot at the other end can clearly see the light from even a relatively low powered 5 mW green laser, at a distance well over 2 miles.

For a more powerful 50 mW green laser, the green “dot” is visible well over 7 miles -- even though to the user, the beam appears only a few hundred meters long. What is happening?The Planetary Boundary LayerFor a laser beam to be visible, some of the light must reflect off particles such as dust, smoke or water vapor. In a zone near the earth’s surface, the atmosphere is full of these aerosols, helping to make outdoor laser beams visible.But above the Planetary Boundary Layer (also known as the Atmospheric Boundary Layer), air is much cleaner. After the beam exits the PBL and enters cleaner air (fewer aerosols), much less light is reflected back. The beam seems to disappear.The PBL thickness can vary from day-to-day and at different locations. Typically, it is a few hundred meters, up to a maximum of a few thousand meters. The illustration below shows the PBL:
