<p>An optical fiber array (20) comprising at least one subunit (26) including at least one optical fiber (22) therein surrounded by a respective subunit matrix (23). The optical fiber array (20) includes a common matrix (24) disposed adjacent to the at least one subunit (26). The optical fiber array (20) can include an interfacial zone (28) between the subunit and common matrices defined by an adhesion treatment, the adhesion treatment comprising at least one interfacial substance having an interface characteristic in a range from an essentially non-coupled relationship to a loose bond.</p> |
