Low-divergence, high-brightness harmonic emission has been generated by using a fundamental beam with a truncated Bessel intensity profile. Such a beam is directly obtained by using the hollow-fiber compression technique, which indeed allows one to optimize both temporal and spatial characteristics of the high-order harmonic generation process. This is particularly important for the applications of radiation, where extreme temporal resolution and high brightness are required.
