DDA-SI toolbox for MATLAB

Discrete dipole approximation (DDA), both for free space particle(s) light scattering and with planar surface interaction (DDA-SI). Symmetry optimization and T-matrix formulation implemented for free-space DDA will be included in later releases.

Please note that some functions from the Optical Tweezers toolbox are required for coordinate transformation, beam shape coefficients (BSCs), vector spherical wave functions (VSWFs), etc.: http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/nieminen/software.html
