Optical components in the form of anti-resonant hollow-core fibres or preforms therefor contain a hollow core, a jacket with a circumferential inner side that faces the hollow core, and anti-resonant structural elements. In order to provide a method for producing an optical component with anti-resonant structural elements of a first type, which depart from the circular or oval shape and which are respectively of arcuate design in cross section as seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the component, with a left-hand arc end and with a right-hand arc end and with a bulge towards the hollow core, wherein the arc ends are connected to the inside of the jacket at contact points and, together with the inside of the jacket, span a curvature surface, the present document proposes a method.
An anti-resonant optical component, which comprises a hollow core extending along a component longitudinal axis, a sheath surrounding the hollow core with a circumferential inner side facing the hollow core and anti-resonance elements of a first type, each of which are respectively of arcuate design in cross section as seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the component, with a left-hand arc end and with a right-hand arc end and with a bulge toward the hollow core, the arc ends being connected to the inside of the sheath at contact points and, together with the inside of the sheath, spanning a curvature surface,
