Spaceships 8 (page 21) offers optical Phased Array lasers at TL11 and UV lasers at TL12. Only major batteries are available, and at TL11 they are only available as fixed mounts, but they can switch to rapid-fire or very-rapid-fire at will. They even function as LIDAR.

If you have TL12 (or TL 11 and play games with smaller-systems) you can equip an SM +12 ship with a phased array turret (or an SM +11 phased array in each hull section) that is a very versatile defensive weapon.
