ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing optical waveguides including providing a plurality of longitudinally extending, cylindrical passage-forming members positioned in parallel, spaced apart relationship. Molding a cladding member having opposed surfaces around the passage-forming members so that the passage-forming members extend through the cladding member and each of the opposed surfaces. Removing the passage-forming members from the molded cladding member subsequent to the molding step so as to leave a plurality of passages through the cladding member from one opposed surface to the other and positioning waveguide core material in the passages to form a plurality of optical waveguides.
