First, WIEN2k 14.1 is expected to essentially give incorrect results for optical property calculations (because the normalization was not correct).  Thus, the bug reports:

Thus, to use the corrected code, you would have to use WIEN2k 17.1. However, there seems to still be a slight bug in WIEN2k 17.1 with just a spin-polarized SO optic calculation as was recently discussed (where the results are off by a factor of 2):

Second, see section "5.10.12 addjoint-updn_lapw" of the WIEN2k 17.1 usersguide on page 102.  It states there that this is only used with a spin-polarized calculation (runsp_lapw) when it says:

"It should be called for spin-polarized optics calculations ..."

So, you don't use it with a non-spin polarized calculation (run_lapw).

The addjoint-updn_lapw is also not used with SO calculations [ https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg07551.html ]:

run_lapw -so
runsp_lapw -so

I suggest that you read the post about how Imag(epsilon) can be plotted separately, but not the Real(epsilon):

So what I understood is:
If I want to calculate the total optical properties of the compound, I have to run addjoint_updn -lapw then I should proceed with x kram. If I want to calculate the spin resolved optical properties, then I have to run x joint -up/dn and then x kram -up/dn. No need to run addjoint_updn -lapw.
(I am using Wien2k version 14.1)

Correct me if I am wrong.
