Summary
Can a compact PCSEL supply high-power coherent modulation?
Uses two photonic-crystal sections with slightly different resonances and anti-phase current injection.
Demonstrates watt-class frequency modulation and Gbps-class free-space communication without a fibre amplifier.

Commentary
The attenuation experiment is not a demonstration of an operational intersatellite link.
Shows band-edge engineering and active electrical control serving a system-level optical objective.
