In Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe of science fiction stories, ground-based lasers built for interstellar propulsion end up being used to fend off alien invasion.
Example story "Madness Has Its Place"

(okay, not necessarily Earth based lasers; perhaps the "ground" is more like "asteroid" or "tiny rock space station"...)
I'm getting about 5 words per line on my Samsung phone. Unreadable, the borders are too damned wide!
