A fiber optic array (90) is provided having fibers (24) positioned at a selected angle relative to the output face of the array. The array includes first (20) and second (30) substrates each of which has a plurality of fiber passageways extending therethrough. The substrates are positioned relative to one another such that each passageway (22) of the first substrate is registered to a respective passageway (32) of the second substrate. An optical fiber is disposed in each pair of registered passageways. The passageways are dimensioned to permit the optical fiber disposed therein to be positioned at a range of angles relative to the output face of the array. The first and second substrates are moved relative to one another to select an angle from the range of angles at which the fibers are oriented relative to the output face of the array. A method for fabricating such a fiber optic array is also provided.
