ABSTRACT:
A method of making an optical device is described, in which an optical fibre having a free end is provided. The free end of the optical fibre is contacted with a curable material and the material on curing is capable of forming around the free end, a member having light-scattering properties. The material is cured in a manner to produce the member with an isotropic surface. Typically, the curable material contacted by the free end is in the form of a droplet suspended in a liquid and the material is preferably cured by passing laser radiation along the optical fibre towards its free end.
