A 5.6 Gbps optical communication link has been verified in-orbit. The intersatellite link uses homodyne
BPSK (binary phase shift keying) and allows to transmit data with a duplex data rate of 5.6 Gbps
and a bit error rate better than 10-9 between two LEO satellites, NFIRE (US) and
its is good paper on optical communication
