But it needs to be arched like in the photo.
If the fiber optic cable is flimsy, then I suppose invisible fishing line could be used to support it for a large arc. But as I recall, fiber optic cable comes in a variety of sizes. A thicker cable may just produce the desired arc using its own weight.
Cameras today are very good, though. We would have to mimic the low light coniditions and not use flash. Too bad I don't have an old camera. hmmmm.....
That was another feature of the original laser photo. The picture was taken with a digital camera available at that particular time in history. Very low resolution was standard back then. So wires suspending the laser arc would probably be too fine to be recorded.
