Abstract
Angled fiber terminations and methods of making the angled fiber terminations. One aspect relates to an optical fiber support assembly. The assembly comprises a substrate with a hole formed in the substrate. The hole comprises at least one non-circular opening. The hole is configured to receive a tip of a fiber such that an angle between an axis of the fiber tip and a normal of a surface of the substrate is greater than zero.
