Actually, I have repeated the calculations again. I see the spectra are almost same for 2000 and 3000 kpoints but still there is a significant change in the spectra for 90000 kpoints.
As Xavier indicated in his PS, it almost certainly means that something is going wrong, though I cannot tell you what it is.
If you see no difference in epsilon between 2k and 3k k-points, I would say that means the mesh is converged for optics. Even if you want to be very careful in your convergence test, keep in mind that all other optical quantities are calculated directly from epsilon. The only other thing you could check is convergence in the energy range you calculate Im(eps) in, because the Kramers-Kronig needs it (in principle) from 0 to infinity.
how can I explain it? furthermore, when you said 2000, 3000 kpoints, your means is in the BZ or IBZ?
