Is there a front-end that is tuned to the particular carrier

Are you looking for something like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC-5
Years ago a long range remote used IR leds which could take 1A
current, but only for a microsecond or so. Microsecond pulses were
modulated with 33-38kHz "carrioer" and that was keyed with data,
around 1-2kHz.
There are dedicated deceiver modules which can output that data
Such as:
https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/tsop382.pdfThey do all the analogue processing and just output a datastream to the decoder.
Typically the bitstream runs about 1kbit/s so easily decoded by software.
The transmitter can also be handled by driving an LED from a timer programmed to output the 38kHz then doing on-off keying (OOK) to provide the modulation. Minimal hardware outside a microprocessor is required.
