Optical Tweezers Near‐field optical tweezers, relying on optical waveguide, surface plasmon resonance, photonic crystal, and whispering gallery mode approaches, enable the emergence of optofluidic chip towards fascinating constructs that better manipulation for micro and nano‐particles in biological and chemical applications. Various waveguides are competent to trap, sort, transport, levitate and deform particles to promote “trap‐and‐sense” development.
