This website provides documentation for the Optical Tweezers Toolbox (OTT). OTT is a toolbox for calculating optical forces and torques for particles in tightly focussed light beams. This documentation provides information on Getting Started with the toolbox, Examples for using and extending the toolbox, and Reference describing the various functions and classes in the toolbox.
If you publish work using the toolbox, please consider citing it. This version of the toolbox can be referenced by citing the following paper
