This isn't my area of expertise, but there is an Abinit tutorial on 
optical properties (of crystals) you should be aware of. I don't know if 
there are any cluster specific issues to be aware of.

  http://www.abinit.org/ABINIT/Infos/Tutorial/lesson_optic.html

Other tutorials are also available.

  http://www.abinit.org/ABINIT/Infos/Tutorial/welcome.html

These are probably the best place to start.

Good luck!

P.S. I sent this to the forum, in case somebody else has anything to 
add. Anybody?
