Light-induced rotation is a fundamental motion form that is of great significance for flexible and multifunctional manipulation modes. However, current optical rotation by a single optical field is mostly unidirectional, where switchable rotation manipulation is still challenging. To address this issue, we demonstrate a switchable rotation of non-spherical nanostructures within a single optical focus field. Interestingly, the intensity of the focus field is chiral invariant. The rotation switch is a result of the energy flux reversal in front and behind the focal plane. We quantitatively analyze the optical force exerted on a metal nanorod at different planes, as well as the surrounding energy flux. Our experimental results indicate that the direct switchover of rotational motion is achievable by adjusting the relative position of the nanostructure to the focal plane. This result enriches the basic motion mode of micro-manipulation and is expected to create potential opportunities in many application fields, such as biological cytology and optical micromachining.
