Features of diode lasers pertinent to their application in pumps for solid state lasers and erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs) are reviewed. Among them the factors restricting diode laser brightness and output power are discussed more in detail. Design and some properties of heterostructures used in fabrication of laser pumps for solid state lasers and EDFAs are described. Al-free lasers proved to be more resistant to the catastrophic optical mirror damage and are discussed more thoroughly. Broad area laser, 1-D bars 2-D arrays are surveyed and some remarks relevant to EDFA application are made. The paper is concluded with discussion of diode laser designs capable to provide the output beam of a better optical quality. In this context ROW and ARROW arrays as well as MOPA and MFA-MOPA structures are shortly described.
