ABSTRACT:
A method of patterning a plurality of optical rods includes bonding a plurality of optical rods into an array wherein each of the optical rods is aligned so that an exposed end face of each of the optical rods is oriented in a common direction. The exposed end faces of the optical rods are patterned so that each of the exposed end faces has a three-dimensional pattern formed thereon. These patterned optical rods can then be separated and used in the fabrication of optical systems.
