Show affiliationsWe describe a toolbox, implemented in Matlab, for the computational modelling of optical tweezers. The toolbox is designed for the calculation of optical forces and torques, and can be used for both spherical and nonspherical particles, in both Gaussian and other beams. The toolbox might also be useful for light scattering using either Lorenz–Mie theory or the T-matrix method.
