    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a lumen. The lumen includes a plurality of optical fibers and a membrane having an inner surface and an outer surface defining a maximum thickness therebetween. The maximum thickness is 50 microns or less. Each optical fiber of the plurality of optical fibers is partially attached to the inner surface of the membrane. Also disclosed are embodiments of a method of manufacturing a lumen that is reversibly configurable between a planar configuration and a non-planar configuration while maintaining a sequence of a plurality of optical fibers and embodiments of an optical fiber cable including a plurality of such lumens.
