1. A method, comprising:

  • securing a first optical fiber, having a core and a cladding, in a first v-groove to thereby form a first fiber-in-groove assembly;

    securing a second optical fiber, having a core and cladding, in a second v-groove to thereby form a second fiber-in-groove assembly;

    polishing, machining, or etching, the respective claddings of the first and second optical fibers to thereby generate respective first and second flat polished surfaces on the first and second optical fibers; and

    bonding the first and second fiber-in-groove assemblies together such that the respective first and second flat polished surfaces are facing one another to thereby foam a dual waveguide structure,wherein a distance between the cores of the first and second optical fibers is less than half the sum of a cladding diameter of the first optical fiber and a cladding diameter of the second optical fiber.
