We investigate the impact of strongly focused electromagnetic waves in E×E∗media, and relate it to the vectorial magnetization distribution induced by the Inverse Faraday Effect. Whereas weakly focused waves generate a magnetization vector along the wave propagation axis, strongly focused waves result in complex three-dimensional magnetization distributions due to the vectorial nature of the electromagnetic field. If a two-beam system comprising of a linearly polarized wave crossing a strongly focused radially polarized Bessel wave is used, the resulting magnetization distribution is confined to a region comparable to the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave with the magnetic moment in a direction perpendicular to the wave propagation axis.
