A mosaic of electro-optically active members, such as glass fibers, are assembled into a bundle and separated from each other by means of an optically opaque material which is either clad onto the respective active members or inserted as a separating structure in the assemblage. The assemblage of electro-optically active members is then heated and pressed together to fuse the assembly, which is sliced transversely into plates and polished. Optically transparent electrodes are deposited over opposite faces of each plate in registration with the respective ones of the active members making up the mosaic. An electrical potential which is applied across a respective active member changes an optical transmission property thereof, such as polarization or index of refraction, such that when the transmitted light is polarization analyzed or monitored, respectively, certain patterns in the light beam passing through the mosaic can be rendered relatively dark, in response to the application of a corresponding pattern of electrical potential.
