Optical trapping and manipulation provides a precise, non-contact, and noninvasive method for manipulation of micro/nanoscale objects. This technique is realized mainly by optical tweezers, evanescent waves, photophoresis or photothermal effect, etc. A review on the progress of optical trapping and manipulation is presented, and the trend of the research is analyzed.
