Default Laser and light sail as an engine

Photon engines have already been suggested. Probably, this kind of the
engine too, but I don't know.
We shall receive the engine, if we attach a reflector to a body and
direct beam of powerful laser to it. Moreover, the light absorbed by
the reflector can be used in the form of thermal energy.
