Fitting the complex refractive index of a material over a broad bandwidth to a sum of Drude-Lorentzian susceptibility terms requires some trial and error, as explained in a previous post, and another.

As an example, here are the fitting parameters for crystalline silicon for the interval 450-650nm based on values provided in M. Green, Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells 92, 1305 (2008). A comparison of the reference and the fitting data are shown for the real and imaginary parts of the permittivity.

; 'a' is the unit length of the simulation in nanometers

(define cSi-eps-inf 8.15)
(define cSi-frq (* 2.7098e-03 a))
(define cSi-gam (* 6.1394e-05 a))
(define cSi-sig (/ (* 3.3948e-05 (sqr a)) (sqr cSi-frq)))
(define cSi (make medium (epsilon cSi-eps-inf)
                (E-polarizations (make lorentzian-susceptibility
                                 (frequency cSi-frq) (gamma cSi-gam) (sigma cSi-sig)))))
