You can select which components you want using optcomp:
optcomp
2 3
will select the (2,3) component of epsilon and sigma. Use version 0.9.218 because some of the earlier versions had problems with the off-diagonal elements.
The code always uses eps_11 and eps_12 in the calculation of the Kerr angle. If you need a different component ratio, then you will have to rotate the unit cell into the correct orientation.

Dear all,
I guess someone might ask the same question before.
My system is a noncentrosymmetric hexagonal insulator.
So, when its dielectric function calculated, is it possible to calculate the function along its crystal axis such [001] and [100]?

I read the manual and found option, "optcomp".
Is the "optcomp" relevant to do what I want to see?
It will be great if anyone let me know how the optcomp works.

Dear Kay,
Thanks for your help.
I want to make sure that the (2,3) indicates the (y, z) components of dielectric and stress tensor along the crystallographic axes (b, c).
Am I right?
Best,
Sang-Hwan
