Do you have specs on the starlink or kuiper laser terminals? SpaceX has been hush hush about the former and I didn’t even think kuiper had anything for laser comms yet.
This system probably isn't very comparable to the Starlink space lasers. Because of scale, Starlink is very heavily optimized for cost, while a bespoke deep space terminal probably doesn't even have cost as a factor.
It's one thing building (a pair of) working optical communications terminals. Designing it so you can build tens of thousands of them is a totally different game.
