A fiber array is provided for use in optical systems requiring a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array of fibers. The fiber array includes a support post disposed within a fiber-containing cavity of the fiber array to provide support within the internal cavity. The use of the support post permits the height of the fiber array to be reduced thereby enabling such fiber arrays to be stacked together more closely providing increased fiber packing density among arrays. In addition, the fiber array is configured to support and protect un-jacketed fibers, where the absence of the jacket permits increased packing density among fibers in an individual fiber array.
