Table-top coherent ultrashort extreme ultraviolet light sources from high-harmonic generation have been shown to enable a wealth of novel experiments in the field of ultrafast surface science [1,2]. However, the full potential of this approach has not yet been achieved because, to date, high harmonics generated by low-repetition rate Ti:sapphire lasers required a trade-off between photon flux, repetition rate, energy and time resolution [3]. Here, we present a HHG light source driven by a nonlinearly compressed 0.5 MHz fiber laser enabling >1010 photons/s in single harmonics between 22-73 eV. In addition, our setup enables the direct generation of harmonics with bandwidths of the order of about 50 meV, so that the light source is ideally suited for next generation femtosecond spin- and angle-resolved photoemission experiments.
