The light sail must be one of the mirrors in the laser setup. It must be moved a measurable distance. (Before being destroyed, or not being destroyed at all.)

Clarification: does it need to be a thin foil, or you just want to see a mirror moved by light pressure in a cavity? (E.g. if a bigger mirror is moved by light pressure a measurable amount does that count?)

predicts NO

@Ouroboros It doesn't need to be a thin foil, but it does need "being moved" to be a core purpose of its being.
