A laser heating one side of anything enough to ablate material in space will alter it’s trajectory, it’s entirely possible that objects in low earth orbit would be forced to return to earth. That’s been proposed as a possible way to deal with all the random crap in space.
Yeah, if you take out lots of real world issues, maybe. In reality it is extremely hard for lasers to do any of that over enormous distances, especially through an atmosphere
