Abstract
Advanced techniques for optical manipulation of nanoscale objects are presented. Possible mechanisms of enhancement of the effect of light on nanoobjects are listed. Enhancements by plasmon effects, field amplification in high-Q resonators, and collective effects are characterized. These methods are suitable for manipulation of various nanoobjects: quantum dots, nanowires, nanotubes, and cell organelles. Techniques for the measurement of forces at nanometer scales with atomic force microscopes are discussed.
