The DDA-SI toolbox for MATLAB:

1) Standard DDA for free space light scattering calculations

2) DDA with surface interaction (DDA-SI)

3) Discrete rotational symmetry-optimized DDA, T-matrix formulation (not include in release v0.1)

Functions from the Optical Tweezers Toolbox are also required:

The functions are for coordinate transformation, generating beam shape coefficients for arbitrary illumination, vector spherical wave functions etc.

This Fortran code by Yu You calculates the light scattering by an arbitrary particle, which has a non-unit electric permittivity as well a non-unit magnetic permeability. The code is based on the DDA code, DDSCAT 6.1, published by Draine and Flatau.
