Of course.
It's actually a bit challenging to point a laser just to the exact location, and keep it there since everything is moving, but we have such technology.
Here's a mythbusters episode on exactly this.
They first send a laser to the moon at an empty place, and they just detect low level background information.
Then they shine the laser at the retroreflector, and you can see the spike.
If i remember that episode, All the data for that episode was provided by and carried out by the scientist using equipment belonging to them. Not independently. How convenient their outcomes and measurements shown on the show match their claims.
