| Abstract | It is shown that the transverse modes of a Raman amplifier with Gaussian pump are equivalent to those of a microchip laser with combined quadratic index guiding and Gaussian gain guiding. This equivalence allows for considerable cross-fertilization between these two hitherto separate fields. |
