Abstract

A nonlinear optimization algorithm based on the Nelder Mead method is used to characterize the frequency dependent permittivity of 15 materials based on Lorentz, modified Lorentz, Drude and Lorentz-Drude models. The optimized model parameters are used to calculate the complex relative permittivity of each material and compare it with experimental data. In each case, a very good match is found between the optimized and experimental data over a long wavelength range. Comparative study of the models used for each material is performed based on accuracy, wavelength range of applicability and computational efficiency. The parameters presented can be used for computer simulation of electromagnetic wave phenomena involving these materials.
