Dear abinitors,

As we all know that the optical spectra is very sensitive to the k-point mesh, I want use the plasma frequency as a flag to check the convergence of kmesh quantitively, which means if kmesh is good enough the theoretical plasma frequency will be consistent with the experimental value or it is toward a constant one. So I'd like to know whether ABINIT, including optic, can calculate the plasma frequency or doing some postprocess manually to generate it is necessary. If the latter is true, how? I have read the manual of optic but do not have any clue.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Yong
