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.
All you need to do is hit the right spot on a satellite with an ablative laser to make it de-orbit.
Yeah and that is not how that works, that is not how physics works and that is not how anything works.
