A novel dual-beam trapping system was proposed and discussed for a three-dimensional optical trapping of an object with large relative refractive index. From theoretical studies, we confirmed that our system was useful for manipulating objects in cosmic space.
Key words : dual-beam trapping, three-dimensional optical trapping, theoretical analysis, cosmic space
