Summary: | A monolithic optical element for generating broadband radiation upon receiving input radiation at an input end of the optical element is disclosed, the optical element including: a hollow core region for guiding the input radiation along a longitudinal axis of the optical element towards an output end of the optical element; a cladding region surrounding the core region along the longitudinal axis and including transversally arranged micro-structures configured to provide non-linear optical behavior to the optical element causing the generation of the broadband radiation; and a supporting region surrounding the cladding region along the longitudinal axis of at least part of the optical element, wherein the supporting region has a transversal dimension which is sufficiently large to render the at least part of the optical element substantially rigid. |
