The jacket of a cored light guide is completely or partially etched away; or, if the light guide is a gradient fiber guide, it is etched to about the light guiding diameter. A lens is then adhered to the end of the fiber, the lens being made of a material having a melting point which is low in relation to the melting point of the core material, to result in a light guide having an essentially semispherical lens at the end; adhesion may be effected by melting on a lens of lower melting point glass, or by making the lens of transparent epoxy, a drop of which can be cured on the light guide to form the lens.
