    Abstract: A mounted hollow-core fiber arrangement includes a hollow-core fiber having a microstructure, and a mount arrangement including a plurality of mounting contacts configured to apply a force to an outer layer of the hollow-core fiber. A portion of the hollow-core fiber is located in a receiving region of the mount arrangement. The plurality of mounting contacts are positioned around the receiving region. The mounting contacts are distributed around the receiving region, the distribution of the mounting contacts corresponding to a distribution of features of the microstructure of the hollow-core fiber. The mounted hollow core fiber can be used in a radiation source apparatus for providing broadband radiation.

    Abstract: An apparatus for receiving input radiation and broadening a frequency range of the input radiation to provide broadband output radiation. The apparatus includes a chamber, a fiber, a gas generating apparatus, and a radical generating apparatus. The fiber includes a hollow core configured to guide radiation propagating through the fiber, the hollow core in fluid communication with the chamber. The gas generating apparatus is configured to provide a gas within the chamber. The radical generating apparatus is configured to provide free radicals within the chamber to reduce contaminants in the gas. The apparatus may be included in a radiation source.
