Abstract
An optical overlay filters radiation striking the overlays at a non-planar incidence angle while passing and focusing in-plane signals. In embodiments, an optical overlay comprises an inner wall, an outer wall, an upper wall, and a lower wall. The inner wall may be formed to include a planar surface. The outer wall may be spaced apart from the inner wall and may be formed to include a convex surface. The combination of the planar surface of the inner wall and the convex surface of the outer wall may form a plano-convex lens. The upper wall may include a first plurality of ridges that are generally parallel to the inner wall. The lower wall may include a second plurality of ridges that are generally parallel to the inner wall. The combination of the first plurality of ridges and the second plurality of ridges may form an optical filter.
