Abstract

The device comprises an outer tubular structure () having a closed terminal end, and an inner tubular structure () positioned in the outer tubular structure () and having a side wall with a terminal end and defining an inner volume. A first gap for circulation of a coolant is formed between the outer tubular structure and the inner tubular structure. A light guide () is housed in the inner volume of the inner tubular structure (). The light guide comprises an optical fiber () and a diffuser () optically coupled to a distal end of the optical fiber. The diffuser is at least partially made of a material diffusing to the electromagnetic radiation conveyed by the light guide, and has a curved shape.
