The illustration image is wrong[edit]
The incoming rays are drawn as coming in in parallel, while, in fact, they should be crossing each other before entering the sphere, and they should exit the sphere with less of an angle between them than they had before entering the sphere.
As it is, these rays do not correctly convey the momentum exchange (if they indeed entered the sphere as depicted, the force should have pointed upwards, not downwards). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.57.217.165 (talk) 19:35, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Fake Article[edit]
see Optical Tweezers As the direction / orientation of the laser does NOT matter, it´s NOT levitation.--91.34.203.64 (talk) 15:40, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Comments on Quality[edit]
Much of the beginning of the article is not cited and is simply claimed in summary. The sources that are there, however, are professional and reliable peer reviewed papers. The links to them work. Ellyset25 (talk) 01:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
