    Abstract: A fiber-optic light guide is provided. The light guide includes plurality of optical fibers and an enveloping material. The plurality of optical fibers define a flexible fiber bundle. The flexible fiber bundle has a first diameter and a length along a longitudinal axis. The enveloping material encloses the plurality of optical fibers at one end of the flexible fiber bundle and over at least a part of the length to define a rigid portion. The plurality of optical fibers in the rigid portion are fused with one another. The flexible fiber bundle has a modified or formed cross-sectional geometry in a region of the enveloping material.
