Cylindrical vector beam (CVB) is a structured lightwave characterized by its topologically nontrivial nature of the optical polarization. The unique electromagnetic field configuration of CVBs has been exploited to optical tweezers, laser accelerations, and so on. However, use of CVBs in research fields outside optics such as condensed matter physics has not progressed. In this paper, we propose potential applications of CVBs to those fields based on a general argument on their absorption by matter. We show that pulse azimuthal CVBs around terahertz (THz) or far-infrared frequencies can be a unique and powerful mean for time-resolved spectroscopy of magnetic properties of matter and claim that an azimuthal electric field of a pulse CVB would be a novel way of studying and controlling edge currents in topological materials. We also demonstrate how powerful CVBs will be as a tool for Floquet engineering of nonequilibrium states of matter.
Magnetic oscillation is a generic property of electronic conductors under magnetic fields and widely appreciated as a useful probe of their electronic band structure, i.e., the Fermi surface geometry. However, the usage of the strong static magnetic
Non-Hermitian systems characterized by suitable spatial distributions of gain and loss can exhibit spectral singularities in the form of zero-width resonances associated to real-frequency poles in the scattering operator. Here, we study this intrigui
A representation theory of finite electromagnetic beams in free space is formulated by factorizing the field vector of the plane-wave component into a $3 times 2$ mapping matrix and a 2-component Jones-like vector. The mapping matrix has one degree o
We predict the simultaneous occurrence of two fundamental phenomena for metal nanoparticles possessing sharp corners: First, the main plasmonic dipolar mode experiences strong red shift with decreasing corner curvature radius; its resonant frequency
A unified description of the free-space cylindrical vector beams is presented, which is an integral transformation solution to the vector Helmholtz equation and the transversality condition. The amplitude 2-form of the angular spectrum involved in th
