Optical tweezers have found applications in many areas, the nonlinear effects play a significant role in femtosecond laser trappings. Here, we demonstrated that the traps are determined by the longitudinal electric field component due to the Kerr effect in nonlinear optical tweezers. Furthermore, we used a linearly polarized femtosecond laser as the trapping source to study the intrinsic bistability effect in nonlinear optical tweezers. A bistable state is demonstrated where the critical value shows big difference in incident power up- and down- sweeping process, showing a novel prospective in future.
