ABSTRACT:
An amplification medium simulation apparatus comprises a basic data retaining unit21, an input signal beam information retaining unit22, and a simulation executing unit31approximating and calculating an output signal beam power at each signal beam wavelength outputted from the amplification medium involving a fluctuation in ion population at the metastable energy level in the amplification medium due to input of the input signal beam, by using contents retained in the basic data retaining unit21and the input signal beam information retaining unit22, and outputting a result of calculation as a result of simulation of performance of the amplification medium.
