  • Overview: In recent years, terahertz waves have shown broad application prospects in imaging, communications, material characterization, and other fields due to their unique coherence, strong penetration, low energy, and the freedom to excite the rotation and vibration of atoms and substances. Among various terahertz-structured beams, vector beams with unique polarization characteristics exhibit novel spatial distributions and demonstrate a growing range of potential application values. The vector beam refers to a beam with different polarization states at different positions on the same wave vibration plane at the same time. Unlike a scalar beam, the polarization state of a vector beam changes with its position in space. This review explores the generation methods of terahertz vector beams, their applications in diverse fields, and future developmental directions. To begin with, we systematically classify the generation methods of terahertz vector beams based on formation techniques. The advancements in direct-generation devices such as ultrafast current devices, nonlinear devices, and quantum cascade lasers are discussed. Additionally, we highlight progress in beam shaping devices such as birefringent wave plates, metasurfaces, liquid crystals, and total internal reflection devices regarding terahertz vector beam generation. The detailed explanations of the principles of these methods and the characteristics of the generated vector beams are provided. Next, we present representative applications utilizing terahertz vector beams, including dispersive transmission, polarization measurement, imaging sensing, vector holography, and electron dynamics. The unique characteristics of terahertz vector beams offer significant advantages and potential in these applications, such as improved resolution, enhanced information transfer rates, and precise material property measurements. Finally, we discuss the challenges and possibilities involved in terahertz vector field manipulation using different devices. Among these devices, terahertz quantum cascade lasers and metasurfaces will be the future development trend, with broad development prospects and application potential. Terahertz quantum cascade lasers can achieve high-power, narrow linewidth, and continuously tunable terahertz radiation. Metasurfaces provide more possibilities for research on using integrated optical systems to replace traditional optical systems to generate vector beams. In addition, liquid crystal is also one of the promising materials suitable for terahertz vector beam modulators. Combining active metasurfaces with multi-layer liquid crystals may become the final solution of compact, efficient, and tunable vector beam shaping devices in the terahertz frequency range. With further development of technology and in-depth research on applications, terahertz vector beams will demonstrate their potential and application value in a wider range of fields.
