We discuss the recent progress on the dynamic control of tip-induced light-matter interactions, especially for the low dimensional quantum materials. This review is divided into three parts based on the type of tip-induced control, i.e., gap control of tip-cavity, tip-pressure control, and near-field polarization control.
We review the two decades of tilted pulse front pumping, and suggest its applications to new materials and laser sources, emphasizing its potential with semiconductors and organic crystals for promising advancements.
