A free space optics communication apparatus which achieves high use
efficiency of light and enables free control of the divergent angle of a
light beam and the like is disclosed. The free space optics communication
apparatus of the present invention has a light source which emits a light
beam for performing wireless communication of information, and a minute
mirror array unit which consists of a plurality of minute mirrors
arranged in a matrix-like form and reflects the light beam emitted from
the light source toward another apparatus. The apparatus also has a
control unit which controls the directions of the individual minute
mirrors constituting the minute mirror array unit independently. The
control unit may be used to variably control the number of a plurality of
mirror groups formed of a plurality of the minute mirrors in the minute
mirror array unit.
