The optical and magnetooptical properties of 3d metals are theoretically investigated taking into account dynamical correlation effects. Various schemes to approximate the effective self-energy, including Second Order Perturbation Theory and Dynamic Mean Theory+Fluctuation Exchange methods have been implemented and investigated. It is shown that accounting for many-body correlation effects is very important for 3d metals to get a quantitative agreement with experimental results. While LSDA-based calculations of optical and magnetooptical properties in general lead to a satisfying qualitative agreement with experimental spectra, inclusion of correlation effects in particular give the correct position of prominent spectral features.
