I am planning to run a small laser, made in Germany. If requires a 220 vac with one hot connection and a neutral. The neutral in the laser is not tied to ground. Can I connect it the the 220 vac used here in the USA, two hot connections and a neutral ?

You don't use the neutral, but it might be a good idea to connect any metal portions of the laser assembly to the safety-ground wire.
