Is there any way to do a
steady state simulation in this software?
If I want to see the real
population of the each level, I would be able to predict the emission
intensity.

The possibilities for predicting the
amount of emitted light depend on whether 1) you are using a CW laser and
looking at steady state emission or 2) you are using a pulsed laser and are
looking for the number of emitted photons from a single pulse.
1) For steady state simulations:
Use the 'box' shaped pulse that has a
flat top. For the pulse width (FWHM),
pick a pulse width that is longer than the longest relaxation time for the
ion. This will allow the ions to come
to approximately a steady state near the end of the pulse. Note that for a 'box' pulse, the internal
program variable T0 will be 1/2 of the pulse width FWHM. In Numerical Setup, you may pick the
'Temporal Domain' as 2 times T0 (instead of 5) . Also note that the center of the pulse is
at 0, so the temporal domain of 2*T0 actually goes from -T0 to +T0. After doing a simulation, compare the
energy level populations near the end of the pulse.
2) For a single short laser pulse:
Look at the time dependence of the
population of the emitting state by running the program with
Post-Simulation. Pick a
post-simulation time long enough to see the full decay. In Plot Creator, generate a 2D plot of the
kinetics of the population density at the center of the pulse (rho = 0). Select the resulting plot with the mouse,
right click on the plot and then select the option 'Integral'. Using 'Integral', you may integrate the
area under the curve of population versus time. The area is proportional to the number of
electrons that relax from that state.
If there is more than one relaxation pathway from that state, you will
need to multiple the area under the curve by a factor equal to (rate of
emission from the energy level)/(sum of all rates from the energy level) to
get the fraction of electrons that emit photons.
