ABSTRACT. In recent years, several experiments have been carried out to generate photoionized plasma in a laboratory. In this paper, a computer program is described, which simulates the evolution in time of such laboratory photoionized plasmas. While the experiments provide time-integrated quantities such as average temperature or emission spectrum, the program helps to study the time-dependent development of the underlying processes. A good agreement is obtained between the computational and experimental results.
