This document contains plots and data comparing the optical properties of silver obtained from different models and literature sources. It summarizes: 1) Reflectance spectra calculated using the Drude model fit to experimental data matches the FDTD simulation results but begins to deviate from the Palik data at wavelengths below 800 nm. 2) Fitting the Drude model to the Palik data only agrees in the range of 330-660 nm. Better agreement is obtained when fitting to Johnson & Christy data in this range. 3) Plots of the dielectric functions and optical constants obtained from Palik and Johnson & Christy literature show differences, with the Johnson & Christy values providing a slightly better fit to FDTD simulation results of

FDTD itself is well fitted to the Drude model, but
the model itself begins to fail for < 800 nm
Error is not due to the finite FDTD grid.
