Abstract:

A method of low cost, practical fabrication of 2D fiber optic bundles. The method includes stripping an end of a fiber ribbon. The stripping exposes a plurality of stripped fiber ribbon ends. The method also includes etching the stripped fiber ribbon ends and inserting the etched, stripped fiber ribbon ends into a plate. The etching reduces the diameter of stripped fiber ribbon ends. The inserting inserts all of the etched, stripped fiber ribbon ends of the fiber ribbon into the plate simultaneously. The method also includes epoxying the plate and the inserted fiber ribbon ends. The inserted fiber ribbon ends and the plate form a fiber bundle. The fiber bundle is polished.
