While on approach into SFO. We were level at 8;000 about 4 miles north of EPICK on the SERFR 1 RNAV arrival. A green laser flashed crossed the flight deck windows about 3-4 times. We notified ATC of this. We had also gotten a heads up from ATC that this might happen.
An air carrier Captain flying the SFO SERFR 1 STAR reported NCT alerted them about the possibility of a laser highlight which did in fact occur about four miles north of EPICK.
