I'd be surprised if some pilots aren't already doing this.

There are only really 2 or 3 wavelengths right now with commercially available >100 mW lasers. However, they also happen to span the visible spectrum (red, blue, green). So you'd need a narrow band filter for each of those wavelengths so as not to block vision entirely. Narrow band filters get expensive fast.

Way less expensive than a new airplane, though.
