We report optical tweezers with the assistance of a strong instantaneous force generated by a focused pulse laser beam of sub-microsecond duration. A strong instantaneous force is required in biological applications. A suitable pulse duration for pulse assistance in water is derived on the order of 100 to 1000 ns from motion analysis of a micrometer-sized particle. We performed optical tweezers experiments with a focused pulse beam of 160 ns duration coaxially incident with a CW laser beam. From the experiments on particle extraction from a glass surface, the required energy for extraction is smaller than the case of 150 µs duration by a factor of 60.
