Optical pulling forces exerted on small particles can be achieved by tailoring the properties of the electromagnetic field, the particles themselves, or the surrounding environment. However, the nonlinear optical effect of the surrounding environment has been largely neglected. Herein, we report the optical pulling forces on a Rayleigh particle immersed in a nonlinear optical liquid using high-repetition-rate femtosecond laser pulses. The analytic expression of time-averaged optical forces allows us to better understand the underlying mechanism of the particle transportation. It is shown that the two-photon absorption of the surrounding liquid gives rise to a negative radiation force. Transversely confined Rayleigh particles can be continuously dragged towards the light source during a pulling process.
