A resonant radiation force exerted on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNs) is theoretically investigated. The radiation force is considerably enhnaced when a frequency of applied laser field is tuned to the exciton levels of SWCNs. The peak positions in radiation force spectra are sensitive to the tube diameter and light polarization. Therefore, the selective sorting and trapping of SWCNs with a desired specific structure is expected. ©2010
