Apparatuses and methods directed to an integrated circuit package having
an optical component are disclosed. The package may include an integrated
circuit die having at least one light sensitive region disposed on a
first surface thereof. By way of example, the die may be a laser diode
that emits light through the light sensitive region, or a photodetector
that receives and detects light through the light sensitive region. An
optical concentrator may be positioned adjacent the first surface of the
first die. The optical concentrator includes a lens portion positioned
adjacent the light sensitive region and adapted to focus light.
