How to output binary data to a file in Java?

I'm trying to write data to a file in binary format for compression. The data consists entirely of floating points so I decided to quantize the data to an intergers between 0 and 65535 so the data can be written as two bit unsigned integers and ultimately save space. However, I need to output that quantized data to a file in binary instead of human-readable Ascii.

At the moment this is what I'm doing

@param outputFile the file containing the already quantized data as strings in a .txt file

public void generateBinaryRioFile(String materialLibrary,
        String outputFile, String group, String mtlAux) {

    try {

        // Create file
        FileWriter fileStream = new FileWriter(outputFile);
        try {

            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(
                    "idx.txt")));

            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                writer.write(line + "\n");
            }
            try {
                br.close();

            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.getMessage();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }           BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(fileStream);

However that writes to the file as a human readable string. I need it to be written as binary data. How does one go about doing this in Java?
