Not every laser is available in every system. Once you've found a few of the standard ones you'll likely know where to look for the others. As for the 'uber' lasers they're distributed differently but you can likely work out where to look.
Of course you can find them by accident or alternatively you might be in a suitable place but find that the tech level is too low.
All of them can be found in the appropriate main stations (rather needing to land at the planetary base, for example!).
