this is starting to sound a little bit like the "eyespy and mytrycrafts show," if you'll pardon my poor sense of humor. It makes more sense that we see the infrared laser light exactly because the spectrum of the laser is NOT narrow - we see it because part of its spectrum is visible. Our eyes are not sensitive to light that is beyond visible light, isn't that the definition of "beyond visible light"?
Quantum mechanics comes into play I suspect, the spectrum of the laser is continuously changing over time and covers a range of different colors, my guess is from (visible) orange/red to infrared.
