One straightforward way is to use the library to modulate an ir led at 38khz and use a standard ir detector module to detect the signal.
Ir beam break detector circuit.
Arduino has an led connected on pin 13 pin 11.
It is based on the working of the popular ir sensor module tsop1738 which senses 38 khz infrared pulses from the ir led of the transmitter.
