The dielectric functions and optical constants are calculated using the full potential-linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The theoretical calculated optical properties and energy Loss (EEL) spectrum yield a static refractive index of 2.1 and a plasmon energy of 13eV for hexagonal phase. The results, in comparison with the published data, are in good agreement with the experimental and previous theoretical results. %K Optical Properties %K CdBr< %K sub> %K 2< %K /sub> %K WIEN2k %K FP-LAPW %K DFT %K GGA %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=4260
