Oh, it's definitely different from radio alright. About 4-5 orders of magnitude different. The far higher frequencies of light mean a far smaller beamwidth than a typical radio link, so they have to use spatial searching algorithms. See this video (cued up to the right moment) for a very brief discussion of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03BN7_4N0yQ&t=38s
