We have implemented the calculation of optical matrix elements with and without the inclusion of a real-space cutoff in the open-source software package ABINIT. We have also included the possibility to add the contribution arising from the non-local term of the pseudopotential operator. The implementation has been tested successfully for atoms, bulk silicon, and an oxidized silicon surface. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
