How to define relative complex refractive index? #4

I want to know how to define relative complex refractive index?
For example, gold is placed in the water, then what is the relative complex 
refractive index of gold? 
(n/1.33)+i(k/1.33), or (n/1.33)+ik ? 

Thank you!

Hi,
  I tested it some days ago,it was n/1.33+i(k/1.33),but what confused me is whether the lambda should divided by the 1.33 in the diel file。I use  ddscat7.1。

I have tested that if lambda is not divided by 1.33 in the diel file, the 
result will be erroneous.
