Recently, Huang, Wu and Florin posted a Comment (0806.4632v1) on our preprint (0804.0730v1) describing nonequilibrium circulation of a colloidal sphere trapped in a optical tweezer. The Comment suggests that evidence for toroidal probability currents obtained from experiments and simulations in the original posting should be considered inconclusive. The authors' concerns are based on two claims: (1) that Brownian dynamics simulations of the trapped particle's motions reveal no statistically significant circulation, and (2) that a realistic description of the radiation pressure acting on the trapped sphere is inconsistent with the motion we have described. In this Reply, we demonstrate both of these claims to be incorrect, and thus the original results and conclusions in 0804.0730v1 to be still valid.
