We have observed the transition from single-pass amplification of the
fundamental mode to oscillation in the higher-order modes in tilted se
miconductor-based amplifiers using numerical experiments based on a no
vel finite-difference time-domain treatment of the optical field that
includes gain. These results correlate well with laboratory observatio
ns of gain-induced oscillation in such amplifiers.
