A bi-curvature lens for diodes in an infrared wireless communication
transceiver is disclosed. Devices having such a bi-curvature lens, such
as a light emitting device, a light detecting device, and a transceiver
are also disclosed. A method for designing such a lens, and a method for
fabricating a device having such a lens are also disclosed. The
bi-curvature lens disclosed has a bottom hemispherical portion and a top
aspherical portion. Light emitting diodes and photo detectors used in
conjunction with bi-curvature lenses display symmetrical radiation
intensity profiles, in accordance with Infrared Data Association
standards and protocols.
