A fiber optic faceplate (10) for coupling with optical sources or detectors. The optical sources or detectors are arranged in a two-dimensional array. Each of the sources or detectors has a pixel area (12) precisely located at a predetermined coordinate. The faceplate (10) includes a plurality of drawn and fused optic fibers (14). Each of the optic fibers (14) is positioned at a corresponding position to the pixel areas (12) of the optical sources or detectors. Interstitial fillers (16) are located at each interstitial space between optic fibers (14) and have an outside diameter corresponding to the space between the optic fibers to maintain the optic fibers (14) in an aligned position as they are drawn.
