Claim 19:
20. The method of claim 19 wherein said bonding of said optical fiber to said one or more tubular members comprises bonding said optical fiber to the first and second tubular members while said optical fiber is in a relaxed unstrained state, and said bonding of the one or more tubular members to the stationary support and the movable member comprises bonding the first tubular member to a first respective one of either the stationary support or the movable member, and bonding the second tubular member to a second respective one of either the stationary support or the movable member while said movable member is held in a displaced state moved from an equilibrium position in a direction away from the stationary support, thereby applying a tensile pre-strain to the optical fiber.
