Creating the beam

First you'll need to create the base for the laser. If you're attaching the laser to the wall, you'll need a 64 x 64 x 32 space in the wall.

Then create an env_portal_laser entity.

Creating the relay

This also requires a 64 x 64 x 32 hole.

Create a prop_laser_relay entity.

Creating the catcher

Once again, create the standard 64 x 64 x 32 hole in your wall.

Create a prop_laser_catcher entity.
