Abstract
An optical fiber bundle having an aligned fiber array includes a plurality of optical fibers each of which has first and second ends and an axial fiber center. The optical fiber bundle has a first common end proximate to which the optical fibers are secured in place by a first array fixture such that a fiber segment adjacent the first end of each optical fiber protrudes from the first array fixture. Each fiber segment of a selected plurality of fiber segments belongs to at least one microspacer neighborhood that includes at least two fiber segments secured in contacting engagement with a precision microspacer installed between the at least two fiber segments such that the axial fiber centers at the first ends of the at least two fiber segments are maintained in predetermined array positions with respect to one another.
