  During the last few years Transition Radiation (TR) and Diffraction Radiation (DR) have been intensively studied for different applications such as diagnostics of electron beam size, emittance, length, energy spread, etc. For extremely high-energy electrons the broadening of TR (DR) spatial distribution due to “pre-wave” zone effect [*] leads to distortion of the radiation characteristics and decreasing of photon concentration per unit square detector. In papers [**,***] it was shown that using a spherical target one can make TR (DR) distribution in the pre-wave zone identical to a far-field one. To verify our approach we carried out an experiment at KEK-ATF extraction line with electron beam energy of 1.28 GeV using a spherical target to focus optical TR (DR) at the distance of L=440 mm which corresponds to an extreme pre-wave zone. We also measured OTR (ODR) characteristics from a flat target in order to compare them with OTR (ODR) characteristics from the spherical one. We clearly observed that OTR (ODR) angular distribution from the spherical target is narrower than from a flat one and it’s very similar to a far-field zone distribution as it was predicted by the theory.
