Abstract
A sensor, optical system, and combination lens for use with an optical sensor are disclosed. An illustrative optical system is described to include a photodetector having a proximity sensor area and an ambient light sensor area that is physically separated from the proximity sensor area as well as a combination lens that includes a proximity sensor focusing portion and an ambient light sensor focusing portion that each separately direct incident light for the proximity sensor area and the ambient light sensor area, respectively.
