I think that sounds like a good idea - to calculate εm using n0 - and then input this into the first equation.

That's a really useful webpage - thanks for the link. I see I can select "0.2-0.8um" range and it shows values of n and ε and states the n doping; or I can select "3-31um" which shows n but doesn't state the n doping (would assume it to be the same, intrinsic). There's an equation for n which...

The material database gives a list of wavelength (or frequency) vs refractive index (real and imag parts) only for the range 2x10-5 to 5x10-8 - so it doesn't go into nanometre range (which is interesting to note since a lot of simulations take place over the nm range). I think perhaps I'm...

The values of n over the λ range as calculated using that formula should be valid as that is the method used by Lumerical (where I found the formula) to obtain the "n vs λ" values in their materials database. This is how I know whether my calculations are correct, as I can compare values of n...

So, in first equation how is εm term modified to include λ dependence?

The equation is from the Plasma-Drude model as shown here http://docs.lumerical.com/en/index.html?ref_sim_obj_charge_to_index_conversion.html but I cannot source the reference "Henry, C. H.; Logan, R. A.; Bertness, K. A. Journal of Applied Physics, vol. 52, (1981), p. 4457-4461" to view the...

I need to calculate the refractive index of a semiconductor material over a wavelength range (1×10-5m - 1×10-9m) and with different values of electron and hole carrier concentrations (i.e. n/p doped). I found this equation that relates those parameters: n+ik = √ [ (εm -...
