This repository contains the source code of programs for holographic force measurements, as described in:

Franziska Strasser, Simon Moser, Monika Ritsch-Marte, and Gregor Thalhammer. Direct measurement of individual optical forces in ensembles of trapped particles. Optica 8(1), 79-87 (2021)

Additional code used for experiment control is contained in the tweezers directory.

The programs are implemented using Python. To install use

python setup.py install

For developing the software we recommend to install the package in development mode

python setup.py develop

Usage of the software is demonstrated in IPython notebooks contained in the examples directory.
