The evolution of the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) instability in time and two spatial dimensions is studied analytically for initial and boundary conditions representative of a laser pulse convecting into fresh plasma. For most scattering angles, SRS saturates due to the lateral convection of the Stokes wave. The steady-state amplitude profiles of the Stokes and Langmuir waves are highly two dimensional.
