Relative to planet #9 we're right next to a giant nuclear fusion powered light 700,000 km across. If it isn't lighting up the surface of planet #9 well enough for us to see it already, then we're not going to be able to construct some laser that makes a difference.

That's before you get to the problem that space is ridiculously big, and sweeping it across the entirety of the surface of the imaginary sphere that might contain planet #9 would probably take millions of years (citation needed).
