Abstract

See full text

Techniques for establishing a free-space optical communications link between a local terminal and a remote terminal include determining that a remote terminal is within a wide field of view associated with a micromechanical mirror in a local terminal. The risk of an undesirable effect which imposes a performance or security problem is also determined to occur within the wide field of view. The micromechanical mirror is pointed by including the remote terminal within a narrow field of view that is narrower than the wide field of view, and by reducing the risk that the undesirable effect is within the narrow field of view.
