FusedSilica and FakeFusedSilica refraction indices not valid #216

Closed soleti closed 9 months ago

soleti commented 9 months ago

The formula for the refractive indices for FusedSilica and FakeFusedSilica is valid only up to ~10.7 eV. However, the values are calculated in the code up to optPhotMaxE_, which is set to 11.5 eV:

Thus, this value:

is nan for points above 10.7 eV.
