Recent advances in chemical sciences have enabled the tailorable synthesis of colloidal particles with variable composition, size, shape and properties. Building superstructures with colloidal particles as building blocks is appealing for the fabrication of functional metamaterials and nanodevices. Optical nano-printing provides a versatile platform to print various particles into arbitrary configurations with nanometric precision. In this review, we summarize recent progress in optical nano-printing of colloidal particles and its related applications. Diverse techniques based on different physical mechanisms, including optical forces, light-controlled electric fields, optothermal effects, laser-directed thermo-capillary flows, and photochemical reactions, are discussed in detail. With its flexible and versatile capabilities, optical nano-printing will find promising applications in numerous fields such as nanophotonics, energy, microelectronics, and nanomedicine.
