We demonstrate theoretically that shining light on superconducting proximitystructures controls the minigap and triplet proximity effect in normal andmagnetic metals, respectively. Considering both a bilayer and Josephsonjunction geometry, we show that microwave irradiation with frequency $\omega$qualitatively alters the spectral properties of the system, controlling theminigap size $E_\text{mg}$ and even replacing the minigap with a strong peak ofquasiparticle accumulation at zero energy when $\omega=E_\text{mg}$. Theinteraction between light and Cooper pairs may thus open a route to activecontrol of quantum coherent phenomena in superconducting proximity structures.
