| Abstract | Vector beams are light beams with spatially variant polarization [1]. During the last decade vector beams have become an indispensable tool in many areas of science and technology such as optical trapping, quantum memories, and quantum optics. In particular, radially and azimuthally polarized light beams are the paradigm of vector beams. Radial vector beams are especially interesting due to the non-vanishing longitudinal electric field component present in tightly focusing systems, which allows to sharply focus light below the diffraction limit [2]. On the other hand, azimuthal vector beams can induce longitudinal magnetic fields with potential applications in spectroscopy and microscopy. However, the spectral limitations of the generation techniques of vector beams based on linear optics prevent their efficient generation in the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and x-ray regimes, which would further extend their applications down to the nanometric scale. High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is known as a unique non-perturbative frequency up-conversion process for the generation of coherent EUV and soft x-ray radiation. A remarkable aspect of HHG is its fully coherent nature, mapping the characteristics of the driving field to the high frequency spectral region and thus allowing to harness the angular momentum properties of the harmonic radiation through modifications of the driving field [3-5]. |
