The present invention provides an apparatus and method for free space optical communication. The apparatus and method provide a free-space optical communication. The apparatus can include a link head configured to provide optical communication, a microroom cover positioned about and encasing the link head and a flexure support. The flexure support is secured at a first end with the microroom cover and extends away from the microroom cover, and is further secured at a second end with a structure, wherein the flexure support is configured to flex from a first position when a force is applied to the microroom cover. The present invention optically aligns a first and second free-space optical communication apparatuses. When a force is received on the first communication apparatus a portion of the first apparatus tilts to maintain the optical alignment between the first and second communication apparatuses.
