Notes

The PMT9123 is PixArt Imaging's low power, right angle Optical Track Sensor in a small form factor QFN package. It has a new low‐power architecture and automatic power management modes, based on optical navigation technology that enables digital surface tracking, ideal for battery‐powered wireless input devices.

The PMT9123QS‐TVIT integrates optical sensor and IR LED light source in a single SMT package, and together with LST0‐M30 lens assembly, form a complete and compact tracking system that does not require code wheel, code strip and any special marking on tracking surfaces for motion control or tracking purposes.

Most importantly, depending on the requirement in your ID design, this lens allows for a right angle operation where the viewing angle is through the side of the lens as illustrated in the diagram below:
