Abstract
It is disclosed an optical element () wherein one or more light-emitting diodes, LEDs, and additional optics may be provided in an integrated solution that may relatively easily be assembled and maintained in a desired position relatively each other. The optical element () may enable one or more LEDs and additional optics to be provided in an integrated solution that is relatively thin and compact in comparison with known devices, such that light from one or more LEDs may be injected into a thin light guide () such as an optical fiber, an optical fiber array, a ribbon-shaped light-guiding structure, etc.
