Abstract
Since the early work by Ashkin in 1970 [1], optical trapping has become one of the most powerful tools for manipulating small objects. Also, two very distinct regimes of optical trapping have evolved independently with: on the one hand conventional optical tweezers associated to the manipulation of bulky objects [2], and on the other hand laser manipulation of atoms [3]. Benefiting from these two regimes of trapping would enable exciting opportunities in the field of optical manipulation. Also, we report here on a set of experiments showing that for nanoscale diamond crystals containing quantum emitters both regimes can be observed at the same time.
