Yes, there is a laser in that dome and it pulses and glows. This facility is a satellite laser ranging station and it fires lasers at targets on satellites to check their location and orbit. I was there at dusk and noted that the centre dome was moving at intervals. When it was darker it spun around and the round window was on my side and I could see the green laser light coming on periodically.
