title = "Ab initio simulations of optical materials",
abstract = "We will give a short survey of state-of-the-art ab initio methods to predict the structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of optical materials, in particular density functional based linear response and time dependent density functional theory. As an example we will apply density functional based linear response to work out the ab initio optical properties for the main components of ZBLAN glasses.",
