ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber bundle for use in a device for scanning documents comprises optical fibers (10) which are substantially arranged along a line at the document side and which fill a plane at the side of an optical detector. To manufacture this bundle, the fibers (10) are first juxtaposed, subsequently slid together to the desired cross-section by means of one or two sliding members (21, 22) at the area where the second end is to be formed, after which the fibers are fixed and severed. The two end faces are subsequently provided with elements (52, 71) for coupling in and complying out radiation. These elements are preferably secured by means of an adhesive having a refractive index that is substantially the same as the refractive index of the core material of the fibers.
