By default the RefractiveIndex module thinks that it is installed side-by-side with the RefractiveIndex.info database:
.
+-- _PyTMM
| +-- refractiveIndex.py
+-- RefractiveIndex
| +-- library.yml
In this case, the database can be used as follows:
catalog = RefractiveIndex()
mat = catalog.getMaterial('main', 'Si', 'Aspnes')
# wavelength in nanometers
n = mat.getRefractiveIndex(500))
n = mat.getExtinctionCoefficient(500))
If your folder structure is different, you just need to specify the path to the RefractiveIndex database:
catalog = RefractiveIndex("./path/to/folder/with/RefractiveIndex/database")
mat = catalog.getMaterial('main', 'Si', 'Aspnes')
n = mat.getRefractiveIndex(500)) # wavelength in nanometers
