This paper presents a novel advancement in optical manipulation by developing fiber optical tweezers (OTs) that employ a high-order Bessel-like hollow beam, enabling precise and stable trapping of nanoparticles. By splicing a 405-nm single-mode fiber (SMF) with a 1310-nm SMF and creating a parabolic-shaped tip, we have crafted a nanoscale optical trap that overcomes the diffraction limit and significantly reduces thermal disturbances. The advanced fiber OTs have been successfully tested, demonstrating their efficiency in trapping 100-nm diameter polystyrene spheres with a low average trapping power of 1.2 mW and achieving a laser intensity of 7.37×1010 W/m2. This performance represents a substantial improvement over conventional fiber optical tweezers. We have confirmed the system's capability for stable, three-dimensional nanoparticle manipulation through comprehensive simulations and experimental tests, showcasing its wide-ranging potential applications in biophysics, chemistry, and nanotechnology.
