Abstract

A high-harmonic optical generator (100) comprising a laser arrangement (102) and an optical waveguide (104), wherein the laser arrangement is configured to couple a beam (E) of linearly polarized radiation at a fundamental frequency (COQ) into the optical waveguide to provide a beam of optical driving radiation that propagates along a propagation axis (112) of the optical waveguide. The optical waveguide (104) has a hollow core (108) filled with a gaseous medium where generation of high harmonics of the fundamental frequency takes place. The generator is configured for the driving radiation to have a polarization el I i pticity (150i, 150ii, 150iii, 150iv, 150v, 150vi, 150vii, 150viii) that periodically varies along the propagation axis (112) of the optical waveguide (104), for example by coupling the linearly-polarized beam (E) into a birefringent optical waveguide, which has an ordinary axis (A0) and an extraordinary axis (Ae), with the linear polarization (150i) of the beam (E) forming an angle (Θ) greater than 0° and less than 90° with respect to the birefringent axes.
