33. The calculated reflectivity ratio is scaled up by a factor of 1.002, which gives a good agreement at high frequency where the spectrum is featureless. This discrepancy might originate from the numerical code, which generates slightly larger spectral weight than the model Drude term, or from imperfection of the fit to the normal state (Ref.).
