Abstract
An optical transceiver (200) can comprise an optical receiver (204), an optical lens (201), and an optical transmitter (210). The optical lens can have a lateral periphery (202) and can be configured and arranged to focus at least some incoming light (203) at the optical receiver. The optical transmitter, in turn, can be disposed within a boundary defined by the lateral periphery of the optical lens and other than in a lateral plane that contains the optical receiver.
