A fiber optic assembly including an alignment plate (14, 15) having an M X N array of alignment holes (16) formed thereon and an equal number (12) of optical fibers, each bonded to a respective one of the alignment holes (16). A bondline (22), preferably an inorganic adhesive having a glass transition temperature of at least 150 DEG C, is located between each optical fiber and its respective alignment hole. The bondline (22) is preferably less than about 200nm in thickness. The inorganic adhesive is preferably formed from a colloidal suspension of sodium silicate.
