Although such lasers have a large bandwidth is their lifetime too short for satellite to satellite communications?

Back in the seventies at Hughes Aircraft Company we could not solve the sealed-off lifetime for NASA. I wondered if more recent progress had increased the sealed-off lifetime sufficiently for such applications.
