Abstract

The invention provides an optical space transmission apparatus which is applied for communication of information using a light beam which propagates in the space and can reduce the frequency of replacement of a light emitting element while the construction is simple. An information signal of an operation condition which relates to transmission of a communication light beam or reception of a reception light beam is communicated with another optical space transmission apparatus together with an information signal so that the transmission side apparatus can grasp a result of reception of the light beam by the reception side apparatus and send out the light beam with a suitable light amount.
