Abstract
There is described a method of fabricating an optical fiber device, the method comprising: positioning longitudinal portions of a plurality of optical fibers alongside each other in a given geometrical relationship, depositing liquid coating material around the longitudinal portions of the plurality of optical fibers; and the liquid coating material setting up around the longitudinal portions of the plurality of optical fibers thereby maintaining said given geometrical relationship along the longitudinal portions.
