We report on the observation of transverse effects in a microchip solid-state laser due to gain-guiding, demonstrating that the transverse modulation of the gain profile and detuning play a fundamental role in the control of the longitudinal lasing mode. The observed behavior is interpreted in the framework of the Maxwell–Bloch equations as a symmetry breaking between the two sides of the atomic resonance.
