This invention relates to a method of aligning the core of a thin optical fiber with a light emitting optical device. Prior to alignment a thin, continuous high index of refraction layer is formed on a stripped end segment of the optical fiber. The layer is formed by applying a solution of a volatile solvent and high index of refraction polymer to the stripped segment and evaporating the solvent before beading of the polymer solution occurs. The core of the fiber can then be aligned with the light emitting optical device by observing light exit the optical fiber.
