Optical surfaces are defined in the detector construction. Their optical properites of surfaces are defined in the detector description:

<surfaces>
  <opticalsurface finish="polished" model="glisur" name="MirrorOpticalSurface" type="dielectric_metal" value="0">
    <property name="REFLECTIVITY" ref="REFLECTIVITY_mirror"/>
    <property name="RINDEX"       coldim="2" values="1.034*eV  1.5   4.136*eV  1.5"/>
  </opticalsurface>
</surfaces>
