A diffuser tip for a fiber optic or array of fibers having a proximal end which abuts against the tip of the fiber optic or array of fibers. The diffuser tip has a cylindrical center core of transparent elastomer which contains scattering centers embedded therein. The scattering centers are distributed within the core so that the concentration of scatterers increases continuously in a direction from the proximal end of the diffuser tip to the distal end of the diffuser tip.
