Abstract
Cosmic dust particles are usually collected in space or in the Earth’s stratosphere and deposited on a substrate to be analysed at large terrestrial facilities. We use Raman tweezers technique for the contacless manypulation of cosmic dust particles, to identify their compositions and to characterize their response to optical forces without any substrate effects, documenting the high potential of this novel technique for space exploration.
